Meaning: Twin

Thomas is a classic, male-given name of Aramaic origin, meaning "twin." The name walks hand in hand with fame and fortune, with countless Hollywood stars bearing the first name or its diminutive, "Tom." Baby Thomas is undoubtedly destined for stardom, with cultural icons like Jones, Hanks, and Cruise and modern-day heartthrobs Hiddleston and Holland holding the title. This traditional name has been a superstar in homes long before now, though. Thomas was first observed in the Hebrew Bible as one of the 12 apostles before American president Jefferson, writer Hardy, and inventor Edison made history. It would be impossible to forget Thomas the Tank Engine, too. An icon in its own right, this friendly train will certainly instill pride and joy in baby for sharing the namesake. A timeless and loveable name, baby Thomas might be double the trouble, but they're definitely worth it!
