Meaning & origin
Timmie is a diminutive of Timothy that saw its peak usage in the 1950s, particularly in 1959. It has not appeared in the U.S. top 1000 for recent years, reflecting a decline in traditional diminutive names. Despite its mid-century popularity, Timmie has remained relatively stable in use, without a revival in modern decades. As a nickname-turned-given-name, it carries a friendly, informal tone typical of its era.
Timmie is a pet form of Timothy, derived from the Greek name Timotheos (τιμή 'honor' + θεός 'God'). It originally appeared in the New Testament as the name of a companion of Paul. The diminutive form Timmie became popular in the mid-20th century as a variant of Timmy, often used as a given name in its own right.
