Tomasine
Tomasine Origin and Meaning
Tomasine is a feminine name derived from Thomas, which has biblical origins meaning 'twin' in Aramaic. This elegant feminine variation follows the pattern of adding the suffix '-ine' to masculines names to create their female counterparts, similar to Josephine from Joseph. Though relatively uncommon in contemporary usage, Tomasine has historical precedent particularly in French and English naming traditions. The name carries a classic, sophisticated quality while offering multiple friendly nickname options including Toma, Tommi, or Sina. Tomasine provides an interesting alternative to the more common feminine forms like Thomasina or Tamsin. The name's traditional roots give it substance and gravity, while its melodic four syllables create a flowing, graceful quality that maintains distinctly feminine characteristics while honoring the biblical Thomas tradition.
