The name came to Hebrew by way of Aramaic, where the form T'oma meant twin. One of the most famous bearers of the name may have been St. Thomas the Apostle [1st century A.D.-c. 72 A.D.]. He was aka Thomas Didymus, with the latter being the Greek word for twin. So the apostle's real name is unknown although the Gospel of Thomas begins, These are the secret sayings that the living Jesus spoke and Didymos Judas Thomas recorded.
