Origin, Meaning And History of Bartholomew

Bartholomew is a name with Hebrew and Aramaic origins. It is an English derivative of Bartholomaios, a Greek form of the Aramaic name, meaning ‘Son of Talmai.’ The name can be broken down and translated. Bar is the Aramaic word for ‘son,’ which can refer to the person’s ancestry. Talmai is derived from telem, which means ‘furrow,’ ‘hill,’ or ‘mound,’ or from a Hebrew interpretation of Ptolemy, indicating a derivation from Ancient Greek. Therefore, Bartholomew can mean ‘son of furrows’ or ‘son of Ptolemy.’ Another interpretation of the name is that it is an Anglicized version of the Irish name Mac Pharthaláin.
