Tommie

Boy name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tommie: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 4 births in 2019.

Tommie is a friendly, familiar variant of Tommy, itself a diminutive of Thomas—a name that traces back to the Aramaic *t'om'a*, meaning “twin.” This affectionate form has been borne by several notable figures, including Tommie Smith, the American athlete whose raised-fist salute at the 1968 Olympics became a powerful symbol for civil rights, and Tommie Agee, the New York Mets outfielder who made two iconic catches in the 1969 World Series. While no major places directly carry the name, the root Thomas appears in countless locations worldwide, from St. Thomas to Thomasville. A distinctive feature of Tommie is its use as a unisex name—particularly in the United States and Scotland, where it has been given to both boys and girls, offering a softer alternative to the more common Tommy.
