Barthô

Barthô is a Brazilian Portuguese given name, a variant of the name Bartolomeu. Bartolomeu is itself derived from the Aramaic name Bar-Talmai, meaning "son of Talmai" or "son of Ptolemy". As a given name, Barthô is relatively uncommon, serving as a shorter, often more affectionate form. It is predominantly used in Brazil and among Brazilian communities elsewhere. The use of a circumflex accent (^) over the "o" indicates a closed "o" sound in pronunciation, differentiating it from "Bartho" which, while also a possible shortening, is less phonetically accurate in Brazilian Portuguese.
