Strong's Lexicon Thómas: Thomas Original Word: Θωμᾶς Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic word "תְּאוֹמָא" (Te'oma), meaning "twin." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent of Thomas is "תְּאוֹמָא" (Te'oma), which is not directly listed in Strong's Hebrew Dictionary but is related to the concept of a "twin." Usage: Thomas is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, often referred to as "Doubting Thomas" due to his initial skepticism about Jesus' resurrection. His name means "twin," though the Bible does not provide details about his twin sibling. Thomas is known for his candidness and desire for tangible evidence, which is highlighted in his interactions with Jesus. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, names often held significant meaning and were sometimes indicative of one's character or role. Thomas, being an apostle, was part of a group chosen by Jesus to spread His teachings. The cultural setting of the time was one of Roman occupation, and the Jewish people were anticipating a Messiah who would deliver them. Thomas's skepticism reflects a broader theme of doubt and faith that was prevalent among Jesus' followers.
