International Variations of Thomas

A strong Slavic choice and the name of the first Croatian King, crowned in 925 AD. It derives from the elements tomiti meaning "to torment, struggle, languish" and slav meaning "glory", which, put together, could create a meaning along the lines of "struggle for glory".

This nickname is cute, but edgier than Tommy.
