A common Anglo-Norman personal name. It is from the Syriac te-oma', Heb, to'am 'twin,' rendered by Greek Didymus in St. John, XI: 16. In Gaelic it assumes the forms Tómar Támhus, hence the Gaelic patronymics Mactavish, Maccombie, and Macomie, which see. As a surname in Scotland it is of late introduction from England. Thomas filius Maldoueny attested a deed of middle of thirteenth century (Neubotle, p. 27).

Thomas. —The great home of this name is in Wales, more especially in South Wales, whence the name has spread in numbers into the adjacent English county of Monmouthshire, and to a less extent into Herefordshire and Shropshire. In the English counties forming the next line, it has, if we exclude Gloucestershire, obtained but little hold. Its further advance into England has been on a small scale, and it is probable that its isolated occurrence in the distant counties of Essex, Yorkshire, etc., may be explained on independent grounds. It has, however, a secondary but evidently an original home in Cornwall, where the name abounds.
