- Timothy Meaning
- From the Greek name Τιμοθεος (Timotheos) meaning "honouring God", derived from τιμαω (timao) "to honour" and θεος (theos) "god". Saint Timothy was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys and was the recipient of two of Paul's epistles that appear in the New Testament. According to tradition, he was martyred at Ephesus after protesting the worship of Artemis. As an English name, Timothy was not used until after the Protestant Reformation. Timothy is an Anglicized form of the Old Greek name "Timotheos" or the Latin name "Timotheus", which mean "honoring God or honored by God". The name is derived from the words "time", which means "honor", and "theos", which means "God".
