Notes:

Gaelic and Welsh form of Thomas from Aramaic "twin". 

The Gaelic forms are accented: Tomás is Irish and Tòmas is Scottish.

The variants Tàmhas and Tamhus and the pet names Tòmachan and Tòmag:m] are also Scottish Gaelic.

Tomos is a Welsh variant.

  • Note: the correct Czech spelling is Tomaš.

In old documents in Latin, one of the forms Thoma, Thomas or Tomas were used, with appropriate case endings, for Thomas.
