Tomaj ( or ; ) is a village in the Municipality of Sežana in the Littoral region of Slovenia, near the border with Italy.

==Name== Tomaj was attested in historical sources as Thomay in 1494. The name of the village is probably derived from the personal name *Tom(a) (cf. the surnames Filipaj < Filip and Jakaj < Jakob). If so, the name originally designated a place where a person named Toma or Tome lived.
