Tompall is English in Origin.

Tompall is a modern American compound given name created by blending Tom (the English short form of Thomas) with Paul. Thomas comes through Greek from Aramaic Ta’oma, “twin,” while Paul derives from the Latin Paulus, “small; humble.” As a portmanteau, Tompall carries the combined sense of “twin, humble,” but functions mainly as a distinctive, friendly variant of two classic Christian names.

Documented primarily since the mid-20th century, the name is best known via country singer Tompall Glaser (1933–2013), whose stage name is widely understood to compress his given names Thomas and Paul. Usage beyond that reference remains rare in official records, though it appears as a nickname or creative first name in the United States. Variants and spellings include Tom-Paul, Tom Paul, and Tompaul; related diminutives are Tom, Tommy, and Paul/Pauly.
