Timo

Timo is a Finnish, Estonian, German, and Dutch short form of Timotheus, the Latinized form of the Greek name Timotheos, meaning honoring God, composed of the elements time, meaning honor, and theos, meaning god. The name has long been associated with Saint Timothy, a companion and disciple of the apostle Paul mentioned throughout the New Testament. It functions as an independent given name across northern and central Europe while remaining closely tied to its fuller classical form. Related names include Timothy, Timothée, Timoteo, and Timot.
