What Does the Name Tamzin Mean?
Tamzin is an English feminine name meaning "twin." It is a variant spelling of Tamsin, a shortened form of Thomasina, the feminine of Thomas. Thomas derives from the Aramaic t'oma, "twin," which passed into Greek as Thomas and then into Latin and English. The z spelling is an English variant of the same name, not a separate derivation.
Tamzin Name History & Origins
Tamsin and its variants belong to the English feminine forms of Thomas. Thomas became common in England after the medieval cult of St Thomas Becket, and Thomasina developed as its feminine counterpart. Shortened familiar forms such as Tamsin and Tamsyn followed; Tamzin is a spelling of that same short form. The z is a variation in English orthography rather than a borrowing from another language. The related spelling Tamsyn is also found, especially in Cornwall. Tamzin is used in Britain and other English-speaking countries, and it is not related to the similar-looking name Tamara.
