Támhas
Támhas Origin and Meaning
Támhas is a masculine name of Scottish Gaelic origin, representing a traditional Gaelic form of Thomas. The name ultimately traces back to the Aramaic word 'ta'oma' meaning 'twin.' The distinctive spelling reflects authentic Gaelic orthography, with the accent mark (fada) over the 'a' indicating a longer vowel sound. Pronounced approximately as 'TAH-vass,' this name carries strong connections to Scottish Highland culture and heritage. While exceedingly rare outside Gaelic-speaking communities, Támhas offers a unique alternative for those seeking to honor Scottish ancestry with an authentic name. The preservation of traditional Gaelic spelling distinguishes it from the more common Thomas while maintaining the same historical and religious connections, including its biblical roots. For families with Scottish ties, it represents a way to embrace cultural heritage through naming traditions.
