Tòmas
Tòmas Origin and Meaning
Tòmas is the Scottish Gaelic and Catalan form of Thomas, featuring a distinctive accent mark that indicates proper pronunciation emphasis. The name derives from the Aramaic word 'ta'oma' meaning 'twin,' and was popularized through the biblical apostle Thomas. The Gaelic variation maintains the name's ancient heritage while connecting it specifically to Celtic culture and language traditions. In Scotland, Tòmas has deep historical roots, while in Catalonia it reflects the region's unique linguistic identity. Though less common than the standard Thomas, Tòmas has maintained steady usage in Gaelic-speaking communities and among families seeking to honor Scottish or Catalan heritage. The accent gives this classic name a distinctive visual element and authentic cultural connection.
