Tom is a short form of Thomas, which is a form of a Christian saint's name. The same spelling is used in French, German, and several other languages, but the spellling is different in other languages, too. In Irish, or Irish Gaelic, the spelling is Tomas. However, because Ireland is traditionally a Christian country and because English is so widely spoken there, many Irish boys are named Thomas. However, there is nothing particularly Irish about the name Tom or Thomas.
