Timothy, of Latin origin, means 'honoring God' and is derived from the word 'timoteus,' which was used by Saint Timothy, a companion of Paul the Apostle in the New Testament. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages and has been widely used ever since. It peaked in popularity during the 1950s and 60s but remains a classic choice today.
"Between 1954 and 1969, the name Timthy was given to a total of 28 babies, with peaks occurring in 1954 and 1958 when there were 6 births each."
