History: Thomas has been a staple of Irish naming since the Anglo-Norman period, carried by Thomas Francis Meagher who designed the Irish tricolour flag. The great Irish poet Thomas Moore wrote 'The Last Rose of Summer' and Irish Melodies in the early 19th century. Thomas Clarke was the first signatory of the 1916 Proclamation. In rural Ireland, particularly in Leinster and Munster, Thomas appeared in nearly every parish register for generations.
