Tamascio Origin and Meaning

The name Tamascio is a boy's name of Spanish origin.

Tamascio is an uncommon masculine name of Italian origin, likely a dialectal or regional variant of Tommaso (Italian form of Thomas). The name ultimately derives from the Aramaic word 'ta'oma' meaning 'twin.' This rare variation adds a distinctive quality to the more traditional Tommaso, incorporating the characteristic Italian diminutive suffix '-cio' which adds warmth and familiarity. Primarily found in specific Italian regions, Tamascio has limited usage outside of Italy and Italian diaspora communities. The name carries the same biblical connections as Thomas, one of Jesus's twelve apostles, while its unusual form gives it a unique charm and memorability within Italian naming traditions.
