Origin
Meaning and history of Justinthomas
The name Justinthomas is a relatively modern combination of two separate given names, Justin and Thomas. It does not have a direct linguistic origin or cultural background, but rather stems from the merging of these two distinct names.
The name Justin is derived from the Latin name Justinus, which is a derivative of the Roman name Justus, meaning "just" or "upright". This name can be traced back to ancient Rome and was borne by several early Christian saints and martyrs. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Justin Martyr, a Christian apologist and philosopher who lived in the 2nd century AD.
Thomas, on the other hand, is a name of Aramaic origin, derived from the word "te'oma" meaning "twin". It was the name of one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ, known as Thomas the Apostle or Doubting Thomas in the New Testament. The name gained popularity in Christian traditions and has been widely used across various cultures.
While the combination of Justinthomas is not found in ancient texts or religious scriptures, the individual names Justin and Thomas have a rich historical background. Some notable individuals with the name Justin include the Byzantine Emperor Justin I (450-527 AD), the philosopher Justin Martyr (100-165 AD), and the English philosopher and scientist Justin Leiber (1646-1716).
As for the name Thomas, it has been borne by numerous famous figures throughout history, such as Saint Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), the Italian philosopher and theologian, Thomas Becket (1119-1170), the Archbishop of Canterbury, and Thomas More (1478-1535), the English Renaissance humanist and author.
Other notable individuals with the name Thomas include Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826), the third President of the United States, Thomas Edison (1847-1931), the prolific American inventor, and Thomas Hardy (1840-1928), the renowned English novelist and poet.
While the combination of Justinthomas is a modern creation, it draws from the rich histories and meanings associated with the individual names Justin and Thomas, each with its own unique cultural and linguistic origins.

FAQ
Justinthomas: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Justinthomas?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 9 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Justinthomas going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

When was Justinthomas most popular?
The single biggest year for Justinthomas was 1998, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Justinthomas is about 28 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Justinthomas in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Justinthomas a male name?

Is Justinthomas still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Justinthomas in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Justinthomas can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
