Fomka Origin and Meaning

The name Fomka is a boy's name.

Fomka is a masculine diminutive name with Russian origins, derived from Foma, the Russian form of Thomas. The name Thomas comes from the Aramaic word meaning 'twin.' The diminutive suffix '-ka' adds an affectionate or familiar quality to the name. Fomka would typically be used as a nickname rather than a formal name in Russian culture. It carries the warmth and intimacy associated with Slavic diminutives. While not common in international contexts, Fomka represents the rich tradition of Russian naming patterns and familial endearment. Outside of Russian-speaking regions, the name remains quite rare but might appeal to parents seeking a distinctive name with authentic Slavic roots.
