Bartosz is Polish in Origin.
Polish Bartosz is a vernacular form of Bartłomiej, ultimately from Greek Bartholomaios and Aramaic bar-Talmay. The compound means "son of Talmai," with Talmai often glossed as "furrowed," yielding the traditional sense "son of the furrows" or by extension "ploughman." In Poland it functions as an independent given name, not just a diminutive, and also appears as a hereditary surname.
Documented in Polish records since the late Middle Ages, Bartosz spread with the cult of Saint Bartholomew the Apostle and remains familiar nationwide, seeing renewed popularity from the 1990s onward. Common nicknames include Bartek and Bartuś; the formal Polish cognate is Bartłomiej. Related forms abroad are Bartholomew and Bart (English), Barthélemy (French), Bartholomäus (German), Bartolomeo (Italian), Bartolomé (Spanish), Bartolomeu (Portuguese), Bertalan (Hungarian), and Bartoloměj (Czech/Slovak), with East Slavic Varfolomey as a parallel adaptation. The name typically celebrates on 24 August in Polish calendars.
