History and Origin
Timothy is a masculine given name. It comes from the Greek name Τιμόθεος (Timotheos) meaning "honouring God", "in God's honour", or "honored by God". It is a common name in several countries, including non-English speaking ones.
In the United States, the name was most popular in the 1960s, ranking 13th among all boy's names. Popularity for the name has since declined with its latest rating of 110th in 2009.
English form, used in the Authorized Version of the Bible (alongside the Latin form Timotheus), of Greek Timotheos, composed of the elements tīmē honour + theos god. This was the name of a companion of St Paul; according to tradition, he was stoned to death for denouncing the worship of Diana, but there is no historical evidence for this. Surprisingly, the name was not used in England at all before the Reformation.
