"Tom Wilkinson" is not a word but rather a proper noun commonly used as a person's name. Therefore, it does not have an etymology in the traditional sense like words in a language do. Instead, "Tom Wilkinson" is a combination of two separate names, Tom and Wilkinson. "Tom" is a shortened version of the masculine given name Thomas, derived from the Aramaic name "T'oma", meaning "twin". "Wilkinson" is a surname of English origin, derived from the given name William and the suffix "-kin", meaning "son of", thus signifying "son of William". When combined, "Tom Wilkinson" simply forms a complete name for a person.
