History & Origin
Bartosz is the Polish development of Bartholomew, from Aramaic bar-Talmai, 'son of Talmai.' In United States records it appears from about 1991, carried by Polish immigrant and heritage families, and reached a small high near 2009. It was given to only a couple dozen boys a year here, so it is rare in America even though it is common in Poland.
A boy named Bartosz in the United States is likely part of a Polish-speaking family keeping a heritage name alive; in Poland the name has been popular for generations. Rather than a coinage, this is a genuine traditional name, and its story is best told through its Polish roots and the apostle behind Bartholomew.
