Baby names that mean 'twin' hold a unique charm. Celebrating the special bond that twins share, these names honor the creative force of nature. Twins have special significance in different cultures, which adds to the importance of such names.

In Egyptian mythology, Nut, the sky goddess, and Geb, the earth god, were twins (1). Legend was rife that when Geb and Nut were born, they hugged each other so tightly that their mother, Tefnut, found it challenging to give them birth. This narrative depicts the strong bond that twins share right from conception.

In Africa, the Yoruba people believed that twins were protected by Shango, the god of thunder and lightning, and possessed the special powers to bring more wealth to their parents (2).

Baby names inspired by twins hold prominence worldwide. For instance, Thomas is an Aramaic name that means 'twin.' This biblical name has been popular for centuries because of its uncommon meaning and its connection to unity and companionship.

Inspired by Thomas, the feminine name Tamsin also means 'twin.' The name has been used since the early Middle Ages and is still loved by parents for its meaning and traditional ties. The masculine name Tevin is a modern invention that means 'twin' and signifies the mystery and power of duality.
