Post by dianepearson79 »

NOt sure if this is in the right place but hope so, as the subject says its about names

Hi dianepearson79
I think i'm right in saying that Job is an actual name and Thos is short for Thomas

Hope this helps?

Hi Diane,
Job (pronounced 'Jobe') is a Biblical name. This is where the saying that someone "has the patience of Job" comes from.
