Where Does the Tomos Surname Come From?

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Tomos, so the heraldry linked to Thomas is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Family name meaning

Some records give Thomas; others give Tomos. Both point to the same Welsh and English family name. The family name meaning is “Twin (Aramaic)”, the same as for Thomas.

Tomos is listed among the recognised spellings of Thomas. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written. Other spellings include Tomas, Tomaso and Thomes.
