Meaning and Origin of the Last Name Thomas
Dave Thomas… ever heard of him?
The founding father of Wendy’s is just one of many famous folks you can look to for inspiration, following by Clarence Thomas, the Supreme Court Justice, Isiah Thomas, the former NBA-er, and Dylan Thomas, a famous poet.
The last name Thomas is of patronymic origin, meaning it is based on the first name of the father.
It is derived from the Aramaic name Taoma, which was rendered in New Testament Greek as Θωμάς (Thomas). The first letter of the name Thomas was originally the Greek “theta,” which accounts for the common “TH” spelling.
The name means “twin” in Hebrew, and it came into English via the New Testament of the Bible, where St. Thomas was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus.
Today, Thomas is the 14th most popular surname in the United States and the 9th most common in England.
