Twm

Twin

Twm is the traditional Welsh pet form of Thomas, which derives from the Aramaic name Toma meaning twin. Thomas was brought to Britain through Christianity and the fame of the Apostle Thomas, and the Welsh form Twm developed as an affectionate diminutive used in everyday speech. The name is perhaps most famously associated with Twm Sion Cati, the sixteenth-century Welsh outlaw celebrated in folk tradition as the Welsh Robin Hood. Short, punchy, and authentically Welsh, Twm is a name that packs enormous cultural heritage into just three letters and is experiencing a gentle revival as parents seek genuine Welsh names with deep roots.
