Bartholomew
One of twelve
Bartholomew is a masculine given name of biblical origin—one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
The name appears occasionally in English-speaking countries but is not common.
It often shortens to Bart or Barty: Bartholomew goes by Bart at school.
Saint Bartholomew's Day (August 24) commemorates the apostle.
