History & Origin
Tomasina is a feminine of Thomas, from the Aramaic te'oma, 'twin' - the name of the apostle Thomas. The -ina ending gives it an Italian and Spanish lilt, and it let families echo a father's or grandfather's Thomas in a daughter's name, a common vintage practice.
It was always rare, given to only about twenty girls a year around its 1976 peak, and it stayed an uncommon heritage choice. A Tomasina born then is now an adult, and the name reads as an ornate vintage feminine form rather than a mainstream pick.
