What does the baby name “Tommie” mean?

Tommie is a warm, friendly variant of Tommy, the beloved nickname form of Thomas, a name rooted in Aramaic meaning "twin." The -ie spelling gives it a softer, more gender-flexible quality while keeping all the easy charm of the classic.

The -ie ending is an English variant that softens the name slightly and has historically made it feel suitable for girls as well as boys.
