Tomasz

Boy name · 62 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tomasz: 62 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 7 births in 2009.

Tomasz is the Polish form of Thomas, ultimately derived from the Aramaic תָּאוֹמָא (Ta'oma'), meaning "twin." This robust name carries a proud Slavic heritage while sharing roots with a biblical apostle known for his initial doubt. Famous bearers include Tomasz Adamek, the Polish heavyweight boxer, and Tomasz Stańko, the acclaimed jazz trumpeter whose work defined European avant-garde jazz. The name is etymologically related to the city of Tomi in Romania, now Constanța, where the Roman poet Ovid was exiled, though the connection is distant. A notable variant is Tomáš, the Czech and Slovak form, while Tomasz has become increasingly familiar in Scotland through Polish migration, adding a vibrant layer to the nation's naming landscape.
