The Story of Thomasine
Thomasine is the medieval English and Scottish feminine form of Thomas, which comes from the Aramaic 'ta'oma' (תָּאוֹמָא), meaning 'twin.' The name Thomas was carried to Europe by doubting Thomas the Apostle, and its feminine variants developed throughout the Middle Ages. Thomasine was particularly used in 15th and 16th century England and Scotland, giving it a distinctly historical resonance that makes it feel both ancient and unexpectedly fresh to modern ears.
