Timos

Timos is a short form or a variant of the Greek name Timotheos (Timothy). The name Timotheos is derived from the Greek elements 'timē' (τιμή) meaning 'honor, respect' and 'theos' (θεός) meaning 'God'. It gained significant recognition through Saint Timothy, a companion of the Apostle Paul in the New Testament. The name has been in continuous use in Christian cultures, particularly in Eastern Orthodox traditions, for centuries.

While Timotheos is the more common and historically prominent form, Timos serves as a more concise version, often used in modern Greek contexts or as a nickname that has evolved into a standalone name. Its simplicity and clear meaning have ensured its continued, albeit less widespread, usage.
