A kind of mistake in the Aramic word[edit]
The Aramic word in the article written in Hebrew characters – this is a Jewish dialect of Aramic (and indeed this means twins). However, I suggest to replace it with the most common dialect of Aramic, from which the Jewish dialect was derived. עברית (talk) 10:06, 5 February 2016 (UTC)
Origins[edit]
I've removed all references to this being a 'Scottish surname' as they're all completely unsourced (and also nonsense). It's, very clearly, a surname which comes from the English language (typical Germanic compound patronymic), and clearly has multiple origins and spellings and prevalence within several northwestern European countries. The spellings Thomson AND Thompson are both very common in Scotland. The fact that Thomson is a slightly more common spelling does not make it a 'Scottish name'. It's clearly an English name. 89.242.67.94 (talk) 08:56, 15 November 2022 (UTC)
