Thomas

Thomas is a classic masculine name of Aramaic origin, meaning "twin." This moniker walks hand in hand with fame and fortune, with countless Hollywood stars like Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, and Tom Holland bearing its shortened variant! Long before these figures rose to prominence, Thomas was known for its biblical significance, as it's the name of one of the 12 apostles in the New Testament. American president Jefferson, writer Hardy, and inventor Edison are just some other examples of Thomas's who've made history. And who could forget Thomas & Friends, the beloved children's show that follows Thomas the Tank Engine and his fellow locomotives! This friendly train might just be your Thomas's favorite namesake in their earliest years. For The Bump community member sportiegrl1213, Thomas represents a continuing legacy, "My husband is Thomas, and he's a fourth, so we are keeping tradition and will hopefully be naming our son Thomas as well." Perhaps your tiny tot will be the second Thomas to join your crew, making their name's meaning of "twin" all the more fitting.
