Timi

Meaning of Timi

Timi, traditionally a diminutive of the Greek name Timotheos—timē (“honor”) + theos (“god”)—has evolved into a standalone female name celebrated for its melodic simplicity. Though its etymological roots lie in ancient Greece, Timi’s crisp two-syllable structure (/ˈtiːmi/) resonates across languages, its clarity echoing the measured rhythm of a Persian couplet. In the United States, Timi has consistently occupied a niche: first recorded in the early 1950s, rising modestly in the mid-1960s to roughly rank 693 with just over sixty annual births, then stabilizing at single- to low-teens occurrences by the late 1990s. This enduring yet understated profile underlines Timi’s appeal to parents who favor a name free of trend-driven peaks—one that balances classical gravitas with an unassuming charm, unlikely to prompt panic at the school gates yet brimming with cultural resonance.
