Bartholomé

Bartholomé is a given name of Aramaic origin, meaning "son of Talmai." It is a male given name, often anglicized as Bartholomew. The name gained significant recognition through Saint Bartholomew the Apostle, one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ. He is traditionally believed to have been one of the first disciples called by Jesus and is associated with the evangelization of regions in the Middle East and India. His feast day is celebrated on August 24th.

The name Barthélemy is the French equivalent, and it has been used by notable figures throughout history. In art, Bartholomé is perhaps most famously associated with Auguste Barthélemy, a French sculptor and medalist. His work often features classical themes and is characterized by its technical skill and refined aesthetic. While the given name is not as common in contemporary usage as some other biblical names, it retains a historical and cultural significance. The patronymic nature of the name, "son of Talmai," points to its ancient roots and its connection to family lineage.
