History & Origin
Tomasita is a Spanish diminutive of Tomasa, the feminine of Tomas, from the Aramaic for 'twin'. The -ita ending means 'little'. Hispanic families, chiefly in the Southwest, brought it to the United States, where it saw quiet use in the early twentieth century.
It was never common, a couple dozen girls a year at most around the mid nineteen-twenties, and it stayed rare. A girl given it then would be a great-grandmother now, and it reads as a Spanish heritage name rather than a common American choice.
