Timothia
Timothia Origin and Meaning
Timothia is the feminine form of Timothy, a name with ancient Greek origins. Derived from 'Timotheos,' it combines 'timē' meaning 'honor' or 'respect' and 'theos' meaning 'God,' thus carrying the meaningful interpretation of 'honoring God' or 'honored by God.' Unlike the masculine Timothy, which has remained consistently popular throughout history, Timothia is quite rare, making it an uncommon choice for parents seeking distinctive names. It maintains the dignified quality of Timothy while offering a feminine alternative. Timothia allows for the familiar nicknames Timi, Thia, or Mia. Though uncommon in historical records and contemporary usage statistics, the name provides a traditional foundation with a unique feminine twist for parents drawn to names with religious significance and classical roots.
