Tommas Origin and Meaning

The name Tommas is a boy's name.

Tommas is a distinctive variation of Thomas, a name of Aramaic origin meaning 'twin.' While Thomas has been immensely popular throughout the Christian world since medieval times, Tommas represents a less common spelling that may reflect Italian (Tommaso) or Swedish influences. This spelling variant gives a traditional name a fresh, slightly exotic appearance while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Tommas carries the same rich historical associations as Thomas—biblical connections to the apostle Thomas (Doubting Thomas), as well as numerous saints, philosophers, writers, and historical figures. The variant spelling offers a way to honor family traditions while providing a slightly more distinctive form of this classic name.
