 Czech The distinguished Czech surname Tomek is derived from the personal name "Tomasz" and means "son of Tomasz." The personal name is the Slavic form of the English "Thomas."

The personal name "Thomas" and its many variations were common throughout Europe during the Middle Ages; therefore, it is likely that several branches of the surname Tomek emerged independently in several areas of Bohemia, Moravia, Silesia, and Poland under a number of different forms.
