Help[Facts] Tomima
I'm looking for information on the girls' name Tomima.
Tomima seems to have originated in the Orkney Islands (Scotland) and was apparently in use from roughly the late 1700s or early 1800s to about 1920.
Knowing that the Orkney Islands had quite a bit of Scandinavian history and thus Scandinavian connections, I was wondering if Tomima might be the Orcadian form of Norwegian Tomine, a feminine form of Tomas.
Might the name Jemima have had any influence on its creation?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
