Timothy is of Latin origin, meaning 'honoring God'. It was traditionally used as a male given name but has also been used occasionally for females since the late 20th century. In literature, one notable example is Timothy in Mark Twain's 'The Adventures of Tom Sawyer', who serves as Tom's conscience and confidant.
The name Timathy appears to have been quite popular in the late 1980s and early 1990s, with a peak of 13 births in 1989. However, it seems to have declined in popularity since then, with only 5 or fewer births recorded each year from 1992 onwards, including 2012. Overall, there were 280 babies named Timathy over the span of these statistics.
