Meanings

A male given name: from a Hebrew word meaning “son of Talmai.”.

Bartholomew (originally , BAR-təl-mi; now commonly , bar-THO-lə-mew) is an English given name that derives from the Aramaic name meaning "son of Talmai". Bar is Aramaic for "son", and marks patronyms. Talmai either comes from telem "furrow" or is a Hebrew version of Ptolemy or Filius. Thus Bartholomew is either "son of furrows" (i.e., rich in land) or "son of Ptolemy".
Bartholomew is also an English or Scottish surname with the same meaning as the above as a given name.

Masc. proper name, from Old French Barthelemieu, from Latin Bartholomæus, from Greek Bartholomaios, from Aramaic (Semitic) bar Talmay, literally "son of Talmai," from the proper name Talmai, literally "abounding in furrows." One of the twelve Apostles, his festival is Aug. 24. On this date in 1572 took place the massacre of Protestants in France. London's popular Bartholomew Fair was held annually around his day from 1133 to 1855.

Greek form of an Aramaic name: son of Talmai, farmer.
