My Name
Hey
Does anyone know of any sites where I could find a more detailed description of the meaning of my name? I know it (Tamsin) is a derivitive of Thomas, but I would like to find out more of a description than 'means twin' as most sites seems to say. Maybe someone could elaborate on the signficance of 'twin' for me??

Tamsin is a Cornish name. Its English equivalent is "Thomasina".
Well, if your astrological sign happens to be Gemini, then a name meaning "twin" would have a certain amount of significance in that area.
Eusebius says that the original Thomas -- the apostle -- was really named "Judah", and that he had just been given the nickname meaning "twin" in order to distinguish him from a couple of other Judahs.
I remember there was a character named "Tamsin" in Thomas Hardy's *Return of the Native*.

You're welcome! I've always liked the name "Tamsin". :) Don't let anyone change it to "Tammy" on you.
