Tomaida Origin and Meaning

The name Tomaida is a girl's name meaning "twin".

The Polish form of the Greek Thomais (or Thomaida), this feminine variation of Thomas was borne by a 5th century saint, celebrated by the Roman Catholic Church and the Russian Orthodox Church. A rare choice that may appeal to those who like Thomasine and Maia, Thomaida is notably used in Central Africa, particularly in Zambia and Malawi.
