Thomas is a masculine given name of Aramaic origin, meaning "twin". It was born from the Hebrew name Ta'om, which also means twin. The name Thomas was popularized by Saint Thomas, one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles according to the New Testament. The name Thomas has been used since ancient times and has appeared in various forms throughout history. In England, it became quite common during the Middle Ages and was among the top ten names for boys in the country until the late 20th century.
