Tomas

toh-MAHS · from Ta'oma · means “Twin”

Tomas is the Spanish and Scandinavian form of Thomas, meaning "twin," from the Aramaic Ta'oma. It derives directly from Thomas, one of the twelve apostles best remembered for doubting Jesus's resurrection until he saw the risen Christ with his own eyes.

“Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"”

The story behind the name

Tomas has been used across Spain, Latin America, and Scandinavia for generations, and it has grown in quiet, steady use in the United States, admired for its clean, classic sound.

Thomas is remembered most for what happened after Jesus rose from the dead. When the other disciples told him they had seen the risen Lord, Thomas insisted, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands... I will not believe it" (John 20:25). A week later, Jesus appeared and let Thomas touch His wounds directly.

Thomas responded with one of Scripture's clearest declarations of faith, "My Lord and my God!" (John 20:28), and Jesus gently answered, "Blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed" (John 20:29). A boy named Tomas carries the honest story of doubt met by evidence, and faith that grew stronger for having questioned first.
