Agios Thomas (Greek: Άγιος Θωμάς, before 1929: Λιάτανη - ''Liatani''〔(Name changes of settlements in Greece )〕) is a village in Boeotia, Greece. It is a community of Tanagra municipality, near Athens. ==Name== Liatani was the name before 1929. Several theories exist for its etymology: *Without being documented, it is said that the first resident of the district was a wealth land owner, named Liatis. *A 2nd approach is that the name came from the arbanetic expression: " leaita nie" (kill someone), which was used by the soldiers at the revolution of 1821. *The period that Hellas was under Ottoman occupation, arbanitic liapedes went out the district, the village took the name: Liatani.(Liapedes-Liapani-Liatani). *Mavromati is another name, that George Syrmas (90 years old) in 1967 insist on, due to plethora of olive trees, around the village. ''Source: Folklore Collection of Athens University. (Eftihea Syrma 1967)''. The name: Mavromati is mentioned in the book of Colonel William Martin Leake: Travels in Northern Greece, during his visit to the region in 1806. Also the prefect of Thebes, N. Karoris at his report: 'Ekthesis incident, raising the month of April during the 1830' on the conflict with the Turks to lands on 19 June 1833, records the name or Liatani or Mavromati village of Livadia . (Liatani was under the jurisdiction of the province Livadias). Source: ''Unpublished Documents relating to the final deliberation of the land in eastern Greece.
