Tho
Meaning of Tho
Tho, pronounced THOH (/θoʊ/), is a masculine name whose linguistic lineage can be traced through the Latinized rendition of the ancient Greek theophoric Theodorus—“gift of God”—thereby infusing it with a sacred echo that reverberates like a hymn within the annals of classical onomastics. Functioning as a concise morphological distillation, Tho stands akin to a solitary Romanesque column carved from a vast marble expanse, its slender form bearing the weight of heroic antiquity while adapting seamlessly to contemporary naming praxis. In the United States, civil‐registration data reveal Tho’s measured yet persistent presence in the late twentieth century: annual occurrences fluctuating between five and nine newborns, with peaks of nine instances in 1985 and 1992 that secured its place in the lower seven‐hundreds of male name rankings. Through its economy of syllables and depth of historic resonance, Tho offers families a warm yet dignified appellation, a personal talisman that unites the luminous heritage of Latin hymnody with the intimate promise of divine benediction.
