| Core Meanings | twin, double, one of a pair |
| Semantic Range | personal name (Thomas); one called "Twin"; identifier of one of the Twelve disciples |
| Conceptual Significance | Thomas, one of the Twelve, is notably associated with the confession of the risen Messiah (John 20:28). His name’s meaning, "Twin," is echoed in John’s Gospel (also called Didymus, "Twin" in Greek), highlighting both his historical identity and the narrative emphasis on testimony and belief. |
| Morphological Notes | Gr,N,,,,,AMS — Proper noun; accusative case; masculine; singular. The form Θωμᾶν is the accusative singular of Θωμᾶς. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name Θωμᾶς derives from an Aramaic term meaning "twin," so rendering it "Thomas the Twin" preserves the underlying semantic meaning of the name rather than treating it as a bare proper noun. The form Θωμᾶν is accusative masculine singular, functioning as a direct object in its contexts, which is reflected syntactically in translation though English does not mark the accusative case morphologically. |
