History & Origin

Thomes is best understood as an old clerical or family respelling of Thomas, the enduring name that traces to the Aramaic Toma, twin. The added -e reflects the loose spelling habits of early records rather than a separate origin.

It was never a standard form, given to only about twenty boys a year at its slender peak, and it had all but vanished by the nineteen-eighties. Anyone named Thomes in that era would be well into their seventies or eighties today, the name a quiet variant of a household classic.

Did you know? The parent name Thomas comes from Toma, the Aramaic word for twin, and was spread across Europe by the apostle known as Doubting Thomas.
