Bartosz

Boy name · 97 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Bartosz: 97 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 12 births in 2012.

Bartosz is the Polish form of Bartholomew, tracing back to the Aramaic *bar-Talmay*, meaning "son of Talmai"—a name often interpreted as "furrowed" or "plowman." Among its famous bearers is Bartosz Kurek, the celebrated Polish volleyball player who led his national team to World Championship gold, and Bartosz Huzarski, a professional cyclist who competed in the Tour de France. The name does not have direct place connections named after a bearer, but it shares its root with the biblical Saint Bartholomew, inspiring many churches and towns across Europe. A friendly diminutive is Bartek, widely used in Poland as both a nickname and a given name in its own right. While primarily Polish, Bartosz has steadily appeared on Scottish baby name
