Bartolomeo is Italian in Origin.

Bartolomeo is the Italian form of Bartholomew, from Aramaic bar-Talmay/Talmai, meaning “son of Talmai.” Talmai is linked to a Hebrew root for “furrow,” giving interpretations such as “son of the furrowed one” or “son of the ploughman,” and by extension “rich in land.” The name entered Italian through Latin Bartholomaeus and ecclesiastical tradition.

In Italy it has been used since the Middle Ages in honor of the apostle Bartholomew and remained visible through the Renaissance. Bearers include the Dominican painter Fra Bartolomeo, the condottiero Bartolomeo Colleoni, the inventor Bartolomeo Cristofori, and anatomist Bartolomeo Eustachio. Italian short forms are Bartolo, Meo, Barto, and Tolo; Bart is a pan-European nickname. Cognates include English Bartholomew, Spanish Bartolomé, Portuguese Bartolomeu, French Barthélemy, Polish Bartłomiej, German Bartholomäus, and Greek Vartholomaios. Today it reads traditional yet cultured, especially in Catholic regions.
