Meaning & origin
The name Timoty, a variant spelling of Timothy, first appeared in U.S. records in 1955. Its peak year was 1963, when it achieved its highest documented usage. Since then, the name has maintained a stable trajectory, though it has slipped out of the top 1000 rankings. The standard form, Timothy, has been far more common, but Timoty offers a streamlined spelling alternative. As a traditional biblical name, Timoty carries the meaning 'God's honor' and has been widely used in English-speaking countries since the 16th century.
Timoty is a variant spelling of Timothy, which derives from the Greek name Timotheos, composed of timē 'honor' and theos 'God'. The name appears in the New Testament as a companion of Paul, and has been used in English since the Protestant Reformation.
