English, French, German, Dutch, Danish, and South Indian: from the
medieval personal name, of Biblical origin, from Aramaic
t’om’a, a byname meaning ‘twin’. It was borne by one of the
disciples of Christ, best known for his scepticism about Christ’s
resurrection (John 20:24–29). The th- spelling is organic,
the initial letter of the name in the Greek New Testament being a
theta. The English pronunciation as t rather than th- is
the result of French influence from an early date. In Britain the
surname is widely distributed throughout the country, but especially
common in Wales and Cornwall. The Ukrainian form is Choma. It is found as a personal name
among Christians in India, and in the U.S. is used as a family name
among families from southern India.
