Meaning & origin
Timohty is a rare variant spelling of Timothy that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1962. It reached its peak popularity in 1986, but even then it remained uncommon, never breaking into the top 1000 names. The trajectory of the name has been stable, with a very low rate of usage in recent decades. The name bears no top state associations, as it has never been sufficiently concentrated regionally. As a phonetic respelling, Timohty likely emerged from parents seeking a distinctive twist on the classic Timothy, maintaining the traditional pronunciation while modernizing the spelling.
Timohty is a rare variant spelling of Timothy, a name derived from the Greek name Timotheos, composed of timē (honor, value) and theos (god). Timothy appears in the New Testament as a companion of Paul, and the name has been in use in English-speaking countries since the Protestant Reformation. The variant Timohty is a modern respelling, likely influenced by phonetic spelling or the popularity of names ending in -hty.
