- Saint_Thomas_Christian_names abstract "Saint Thomas Christian names describes the naming convention that is in use by the Saint Thomas Christians of Kerala, the south western state of India. These Christians known as Nasranis, trace their origin to the missionary activity of Thomas the Apostle. They still follow a very old naming convention, which is entirely different from other races and religions.Their names are both biblical and inherited and are passed on from one generation to the next. The male names are patronymic and the female names are matronymic. Usually a person’s name will include the names of their parents and grand parents or that of a very close blood relative. At the same time, these names will not have names of saints or of great religious personalities or of political leaders or of foreign names. Family names are also included and all parts of the name are always in Malayalam. Foreign family names are shunned. So a Nasrani can easily be identified by name, from among other Christians. Even today, this pattern of giving name is visible in almost all Syrian Christian denominations.".
