Thomas was not a Biblical given name, but originated from the Aramaic designation תום or Tôm. The meaning of the name is "twin", and in the New Testament the designation was applied to Judas Thomas, "Jude the Twin" who was venerated as Saint Thomas the Apostle. The name "Thomas" was not very popular until the 12th century, after the martyrdom of Thomas à Becket. However, in recent centuries the name has lost what religious sense that it held.

The notable people who had the first name or last name of "Thomas" are too numerous to list here, see
