First there's Thomas the Tank Engine, now Thomas the Twin. Didymus does mean "The Twin". I used to see the name written as "Thomas Adidymus", but perhaps it was put that way just because of the euphony.
There is some doubt over why he was called the twin, and who the twin in the frame actually was. Some said it was Jesus, that they were like brothers. Others say that he was Matthew's twin brother. I guess record-keeping and organisation wasn't one of the main preoccupations of the leaders of the early Christian church. Most of them were too busy dodging Nero's pogrom.
Myself I don't believe any of them actually existed and that they are rather allegorical figures, so I'm not taking sides!
