Bartolomé is Aramaic, Greek, Latin, Spanish in Origin.

Bartolomé is the Spanish form of Latin Bartholomaeus. The earliest securely attested form is Greek Bartholomaîos, a New Testament rendering of Aramaic bar Talmai. The first element, bar, is the Aramaic word for son; Talmai is a Semitic personal name usually connected with Hebrew telem, furrow, giving the patronymic sense son of Talmai, often interpreted son of the furrows.

Its currency in Spanish-speaking Catholic tradition rests chiefly on Saint Bartholomew, one of the Twelve Apostles, commemorated on 24 August in the Roman calendar. Medieval Latin and Romance transmission produced forms such as Bartolomé, Bartolomeo, Bartolomeu, and Barthélemy. In Spanish history the name appears in figures including Bartolomé de las Casas and Bartolomé Esteban Murillo; modern use is familiar but not common in Spain and Latin America.
