Thomas
Thomas is derived from the Aramaic name Te'oma or Tʾōmā. It then passed into Greek (Thōmas) origins and Latin before becoming common in English. Thomas was one of the 12 apostles of Jesus. “Doubting Thomas” a phase used today is linked to the apostle Thomas as he wanted to see proof of Jesus coming back to life. The name is also prevalent in royal families across Europe.
The common nicknames for Thomas are Tom and Tommy.

Dedication of this cache
I’d like to dedicate this cache to Deni_f whom I have been geocaching with many times. He has encouraged me to face my fears in the bush and has encouraged me to step outside my comfort zones. He has also encouraged me to get caches that I thought I would never get. He often messages me to tell me what souvenirs are available and gives me lots of orders. A huge thank you Deni_f , I now step in long grass that is above my ankles.
