Timotheus is the original Greek form of Timothy, derived from the elements 'timao' meaning 'to honor' and 'theos' meaning 'God,' thus translating to 'honoring God' or 'honored by God.' This masculine name appears in the New Testament as Paul's disciple and early Christian leader. While Timothy has remained popular throughout Western Christian history, the full Greek form Timotheus is considerably rarer, carrying a classical, scholarly air. The name has been used occasionally throughout Europe, particularly in Germany and Scandinavian countries. Timotheus offers parents a way to connect with biblical and classical traditions while providing the friendly nickname options of Tim or Theo. Though uncommon in contemporary usage, it appeals to those seeking a name with deep historical roots and spiritual significance.
