Tome is an intriguing and distinctive given name, deriving from the Latin word 'temo,' which means 'to honor' or 'to respect.' This name has been used historically as a personal name but is more commonly encountered today as a title for a literary work, such as a tome being a large book. The name Tome offers a unique opportunity to stand out while also conveying a sense of tradition and depth.
The name Tome appears to have seen its highest popularity during the late teens and early twenties of the twentieth century, with a peak of ten births recorded in 1919. However, it seems to have fallen out of favor over time, as there were only five births recorded in 1972. Overall, there were a total of sixty-eight children named Tome born between 1915 and 1938, with the majority of those births occurring within that decade.
