Doubting Thomas, was called 'Thomas Didymus' ('Didymus' is Greek for 'twin'), but (strangely, having made such a point of it) there is no record of who his twin was. Curiouser still, , 'Thomas' is derived from the Aramaic word for ... (wait for it) ... 'twin'! Why such a fuss to tell us he is a twin, but not who is twin was? Unless, of course, it was obvious to those who wrote about him, but didn't want to shout about it. It would explain why he was so hard to convince about the nature of his brother...
Thomas is called a twin in the bible because he had a twin brother.

I know of two pairs of twins in the bible Jacob and Esau, and Thomas and his twin.
those who did not see the nail prints and hole in Jesus' side
The Gospel of Thomas and many other gospels were ommited from the Bible. Also, the Book of Tobit, the Book of Judith, the Book of Esdras I and II, and many more.
It is not mentioned in The Bible.
Thomas is called a twin in the bible because he had a twin brother.

No. St. Thomas Aquinas did not translate the Bible. That would be St. Jerome who translated the Bible from the original Greek and Hebrew into Latin.
In Hebrew and Greek it means Twin. So the Thomas of the Bible would have that etymology. Nearly every Thomas since was named after the Thomas of the Bible and not because it means 'twin'.
Yes, Thomas is considered one of the disciples of Jesus in the Bible.
well, they call thomas (or didymis), one of the disiples of Jesus "Thomas the doubter"
Thomas Aquinas did not write the bible and has never been given credit for doing so. Perhaps you are thinking about St. Jerome who translated the Bible from Greek and Hebrew into Latin.
