Tomasina Origin and Meaning

The name Tomasina is a girl's name of Spanish origin.

Tomasina is the feminine form of Thomas, a name of Aramaic origin meaning "twin." The name gained popularity throughout Europe after the spread of Christianity, as Saint Thomas was one of Jesus's twelve apostles. Tomasina offers a distinctly feminine alternative while maintaining the traditional roots of its masculine counterpart. Though never reaching the heights of popularity that Thomas has enjoyed, Tomasina has maintained a steady, if modest, presence in English-speaking countries. The name carries an elegant, slightly vintage quality that appeals to parents looking for a traditional yet uncommon name. Various forms of Tomasina appear across different cultures, including Tomasa in Spanish and Tommasa in Italian.
