Tim is Germanic, Greek in Origin.
Tim is chiefly an English hypocoristic of Timothy, whose earliest recoverable form is Greek Τιμόθεος, Timótheos. The compound joins timē, honor or esteem, with theos, god; its literal sense is honoring God or one who honors God. As a clipped form, Tim preserves the first syllable of Timothy rather than a separate ancient stem. In German-speaking use it can also shorten Dietmar, from Germanic elements for people and famous.
The name’s main historical weight comes through Saint Timothy, Paul’s companion in the New Testament and traditional recipient of two pastoral epistles, which helped Timothy circulate in Christian Europe. Tim became familiar as an independent given name in English in the mid twentieth century, later declining in the United States after its 1960 peak. Continental forms include Dutch and German Timo, French Timothée, Italian Timoteo, and Russian Timofey; Dickens’s Tiny Tim fixed one literary association.
