Didymus
DIDYMUS.The alternative name of the Apostle Thomas, given in three passages in the Fourth Gospel (Joh 11:15; Joh 20:24; Joh 21:2 ). The adj. is regular Greek from Homer onwards, with the meaning twofold; hence as subs. = a twin. is the translation, as is the transliteration, of = a twin.
Why St. John calls special attention to this name is not clear. Westcott suggests that Thomas may have been familiarly known in Asia Minor among the Gentile Christians as Didymus. Joh 4:25 (Messiah which is called Christ) shows that Thomas was not called Didymus as an additional name. See Thomas.
