What is the meaning of the name Toma ?

The baby name Toma is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced TOE-mah.

Toma is Aramaic, Greek, Hebrew, Japanese, Russian in Origin.

Toma is chiefly a short European and Middle Eastern form of Thomas. Behind it stands Aramaic tʾōmā, Syriac ܬܐܘܡܐ, the common noun twin; the earliest Christian written form is Greek Θωμᾶς, Thomas, a transliteration with nominative -s. Dropping that Greek ending yields Toma, closer in outline to the Semitic base.

Christian use was anchored by Thomas the Apostle, carrying related forms into Latin Europe, the Balkans, Slavic languages, and Arabic-speaking churches. Toma occurs as a given name and surname in Romanian, Bulgarian, Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian, and Assyrian settings; Touma is an Arabic Christian counterpart. Russian Тома is separately an affectionate form of Tamara, from Hebrew Tamar, date palm. Japanese Tōma is unrelated, with meaning determined by kanji. Modern English records are comparatively sparse.
