Timothy (given name)

Timothy is a masculine name. It is a version of the Greek name (Timόtheos) meaning 'one who honours God', from 'honour' and 'god'. Timothy (and its variations) is a common name in several countries.

In the United States, the name was most popular in the 1960s, ranking 13th among all boys' names. Popularity for the name has since declined, with its latest rating of #208 in 2024. The name has been used for girls, having a peak in 1968, ranking 908 in the United States, and has declined since, making it a very rare name for girls.
