What does "Tomme" mean?
It doesn't really mean anything other than being the name of a cheese. It is one of the oldest cheeses in Europe, originally from the Savoie (Savoy) area but now made all over France and Switzerland, especially in the Alpine region.
Usually it will have the origin appended to it's name - e.g. Tomme de Savoie. It isn't usually green.
