Timothey
Timothey Origin and Meaning
Timothey is a variant spelling of Timothy, a masculine name of ancient Greek origin meaning "honoring God" or "honored by God." The traditional Timothy derives from the Greek name Timotheos, formed from "timē" (honor, respect) and "theos" (god). This alternative spelling maintains the same pronunciation while giving the name a slightly distinctive appearance. Timothy has been popular throughout Christian history, appearing in the New Testament as the name of Paul's young disciple. While the standard spelling Timothy has consistently remained popular in English-speaking countries, the Timothey variant is much less common. Parents might choose this spelling to give a fresh twist to the classic name while retaining its rich historical and biblical associations.
