Bartholomew is the male name of Aramaic origin. In N. A. Petrovsky and A. I. Rybakin, the name is derived from the Aramaic Bar-Talmai in the meaning of “the son of Tolmay” [1] [2] . A.V. Superanskaya is also from the Aramaic Bar-Tolmay, but as “the son of Ptolemy” [3] . It is also believed that the Aramaic variant comes from the Greek name Ptolemy, but the Greek form itself Βαρθολομαίος originated from the Aramaic. In Old Slavonic [4] and Latin languages [2] the name came from Greek.
