Meaning & origin
Tomasina is a rare feminine form of Thomas, first recorded in the United States in 1914. The name reached its peak popularity in 1976, but has since become uncommon. Despite being unranked in recent years, Tomasina carries a classic, Italian-inflected charm. Its trajectory suggests a stable but niche presence, without signs of a revival. The name is primarily associated with English and Italian origins, reflecting its use in both cultures.
Tomasina is the feminine form of Thomas, derived from the Aramaic name Te'oma, meaning 'twin'. The name Thomas was popularized through the apostle in the New Testament, while Tomasina emerged in English and Italian contexts as a female equivalent. It saw modest use in the 20th century, particularly in the United Kingdom and United States.
