Timm is a short form of the name Timothy, which has been popular for centuries due to its association with Saint Timothy, one of Jesus Christ's twelve apostles in the New Testament.

Timm, as a shortened version, still carries these positive connotations of honor and generosity. It is often used as an endearing nickname among family and friends.
