Tomaszek is in Origin.

Tomaszek is the Polish diminutive of Tomasz, the Polish form of Thomas, ultimately from Aramaic Ta’oma, meaning "twin," via Greek Thomas and Latin Thomas. The suffix -ek signals affection or smallness, so Tomaszek conveys "little Thomas" and is pronounced to-MAH-shek. Used chiefly at home and among friends, it also appears in parish and civil records as a standalone given name, especially in the 19th–20th centuries; today it remains uncommon as an official first name.

Variants and related forms include Tomasz (standard Polish), Tomek, Tomuś, and Tomeczek; cognates span Thomas (English/French), Tomás (Spanish/Irish), Tomàs (Catalan), Tomás and Tomé (Portuguese), Tamás (Hungarian), Tomáš (Czech/Slovak), Tomaž (Slovene), and Tomas (Scandinavian/Lithuanian). Common short forms are Tom and Tommy. The name’s enduring recognition derives from the apostle Thomas (also called Didymus, "twin"), grounding its wide, centuries-long European usage.
