The Peshitta renders Bartholomew as ܒܪ-ܬܘܠܡܝ (Bar-Tolmai, 'son of Tolmai'), making explicit the patronymic structure implicit in the Greek Βαρθολομαῖον. Greek and Latin preserve the single-word transliteration of the Aramaic name.

The Peshitta renders Bartholomew as ܒܪ-ܬܘܠܡܝ (Bar-Tolmai, 'son of Tolmai'), making explicit the patronymic structure implicit in the Greek Βαρθολομαῖον. Greek and Latin preserve the single-word transliteration of the Aramaic name.
Greek employs double article construction (τὸν τοῦ Ἁλφαίου, 'the [son] of Alphaeus') with genitive patronymic. Syriac uses the native construct state ܒܪ ܚܠܦܝ (bar Ḥalpi, 'son of Alphaeus'), while Latin omits the article and uses genitive Alphæi directly—all three express identical filiation but through language-specific syntactic patterns.
Greek uses article + epithet (τὸν Καναναῖον, 'the Cananaean/Zealot') in attributive position. Syriac employs the adjective ܩܢܢܝܐ (Qananya) without article, following Semitic nominal syntax. Latin mirrors Greek structure with accusative Cananæum but omits the article, as Latin lacks definite articles—all three traditions attest the same epithet identifying Simon's faction or origin.
