- Bartholomew Meaning
- From Βαρθολομαιος (Bartholomaios) , which was the Greek form of an Aramaic name meaning "son of Talmai ". In the New Testament Bartholomew is the byname of an apostle also known as Nathaniel. Due to the popularity of this saint the name became common in England during the Middle Ages. Bartholomew is a Hebrew name that is derived from the Aramaic “bar-Talmay” which means “having many furrows” or "rich in land". It is believed that the name was brought into Europe only during the Crusades when those who fought in the war named their children with Biblical names.
