Origen e historia
Welsh, English, and French patronymic surname derived from the Aramaic given name Thomas, meaning 'twin'. The name was popularised across medieval Europe through the Apostle Thomas and the martyrdom of Thomas Becket (1170), Archbishop of Canterbury, whose shrine made Canterbury a major pilgrimage destination. In Wales it is particularly common as a patronymic derived from the first name Thomas.
