Tymothy Origin and Meaning

The name Tymothy is a boy's name.

Tymothy is an alternative spelling of the classic name Timothy, which has Greek origins meaning 'honoring God' or 'precious to God.' This variation replaces the traditional 'i' with a 'y,' giving the name a more distinctive appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation. The original Timothy appears in the New Testament as a companion of Paul and recipient of two epistles. While the standard spelling remains far more common, Tymothy emerged as a creative variant particularly during the late 20th century when alternative spellings became more popular. Despite its uniqueness, the name retains the friendly, approachable quality of Timothy while providing a subtle way to stand out. Tymothy offers the familiarity of a traditional name with a personalized twist.
