Making a multiple column table in this fashion

Question

I want to create a table like this:

Title Name Title Name

Mr Tom Mr Tim

Mrs Eliza Mr Ohm

so I want a table with multiple columns, but I don't want to input the LaTeX code like

Mr &Tom &Mr &Tim

(etc)

but instead I want to input it like:

Mr &Tom

Mrs &Eliza

(some code)

Mr &Tim

Mr &Ohm

Is it possible to do this? I want to do it like this because it is much easier to read when the data for one person is contained in just one, rather than having two people on one line. Thank you.

Thank you, the backslash was a mistake. I will edit the explanation a bit. — Maxim, Jun 29 '15 at 14:34
So, you want to input the data column-like, not line by line? — Johannes_B, Jun 29 '15 at 14:37
Does this help? Automatic way to break narrow tables into two columns? — Torbjørn T., Jun 29 '15 at 14:38
AAhh, ok. So i guess this question is a duplicate of the other? — Johannes_B, Jun 29 '15 at 14:49
You can place a carriage return within your code above Mr &Tom &Mr &Tim if your only problem is wanting a single name per line of code. For example, between the second & and the second Mr. — James, Jun 29 '15 at 15:31

Perhaps placing two tabulars side-by-side will work for you?

\documentclass{article}
\begin{document}

\begin{tabular}{ll}
Title & Name \\ \hline
Mr    & Tom \\
Mrs   & Eliza \\
\end{tabular}
\begin{tabular}{ll}
Title & Name \\ \hline
Mr    & Tim \\
Mr    & Ohm \\
\end{tabular}

\end{document}
