Boy name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tommi: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 2005.

Tommi is a Finnish and Scandinavian short form of Thomas, which itself comes from the Aramaic T’oma, meaning “twin.” While rare in Scotland, the name carries a lively, modern feel distinct from the more familiar Tommy. Famous bearers include Finnish rally champion Tommi Mäkinen, a four-time World Rally Champion, and Tommi Kovalainen, a Finnish footballer. The name shares its root with the Scottish place name St. Thomas, named after the apostle, though no location is directly named Tommi. Notable variants include the English Tommy and the Irish Tomás. In Scotland, Tommi has been used occasionally since the 1970s, often as a fresh, cross-cultural alternative to the traditional Thomas.
