Timotej

Timotej is a South Slavic and Slovak form of the ancient Greek name Timotheos, composed of the elements timē, meaning honor or respect, and theos, meaning god, giving the overall sense of one who honors God. The name was borne by Saint Timothy, a first-century companion and disciple of the Apostle Paul, which helped spread it widely throughout Christian communities. Related forms in other languages include Timoteo in Italian and Spanish, Timothée in French, Timotheus in Latin and German, and Timothy in English.
