Meaning & Origin
Bartlomiej is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Polish form of Bartholomew, derived from the Aramaic bar Talmai meaning 'son of Talmai' — Talmai itself meaning 'abounding in furrows' or 'rich in land.'
Bartholomew was one of the twelve apostles of Jesus, making Bartlomiej a name of deep Catholic heritage in Poland, where it has been used for centuries. It's a wonderful choice for families honoring Polish roots while keeping a biblical connection.
