Bartholomew Family History
Bartholomew Name Meaning
English: from a medieval personal name, Latin
Bart(h)olomaeus, from the Aramaic patronymic bar-Talmay
‘son of Talmay’, meaning ‘having many furrows’, i.e. rich in
land. This was an extremely popular personal name in Christian Europe,
with innumerable vernacular derivatives. It derived its popularity
from the apostle St. Bartholomew (Matthew 10:3), the patron saint of
tanners, vintners, and butlers. As an Irish name, it has been used as
an Americanized form of Mac Pharthaláin (see
McFarlane).
