Toma (name)

In European and Assyrian usage, the name Toma is a version of Thomas, originating from Aramaic t’om’a, meaning twin.

It is also a female name, derived from Tamar, a Hebrew Bible name. In particular, in Russian language it is a diminutive of the name Tamara.

In Japan, it is a male name which is unrelated with the Bible nor "Thomas." The meaning will vary by which kanji are used to write this name.

Another name, Tōma, may also be Latinized as "Toma."
