Thomasena is an uncommon, yet intriguing female given name of Latin origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'Thomas,' which itself is derived from the Aramaic word 'Te'omas,' meaning 'twin.' Thus, Thomasena translates to "twin-like" or "resembling a twin." This name was quite popular during the Middle Ages and has since regained some popularity in recent times. It's often associated with strength and resilience due to its masculine counterpart, Thomas, which has been historically tied to these qualities. However, it's important to note that the name Thomasena itself does not have any commonly accepted meanings or associations related to gender stereotypes.
The name Thomasena appears to have had a significant presence during the early to mid-20th century with the highest number of births occurring in 1948 (26 births). However, its popularity has since declined, with only 5 births recorded each in 1991 and 1992. Over the span of these years, a total of 768 children named Thomasena were born.
