I never interacted with him but a close friend did and he says he was a good boss, a polite and down to earth guy.

May he RIP.

Apana “he is called”. “He is called” is direct translation from vernacular/ Swahili.

You say “his name is”

Yes :white_check_mark: — it is grammatically correct to say “He is called Thomas.”

That sentence means people refer to him as Thomas or his name is Thomas.

Here’s how it compares to similar expressions:

:white_check_mark: He is called Thomas. → Common in British English.

:white_check_mark: His name is Thomas. → Neutral and very common everywhere.

:white_check_mark: He’s named Thomas. → More common in American English.

So all are correct — the choice depends slightly on your regional or stylistic preference.
