Timo is Dutch, Estonian, Finnish, German, Greek in Origin.
Timo is a northern and central European short form of Timothy, with its ultimate source in Ancient Greek Timótheos, written Τιμόθεος. The Greek compound joins timḗ, honor or esteem, with theós, God; the final -os is the regular masculine nominative ending. Its literal sense is honoring God, or one who honors God.
The fuller name entered Christian use through Timothy, Paul’s companion in the New Testament and the recipient of two pastoral epistles. Timo later developed as an independent given name in Finnish, Estonian, German, Dutch, and Scandinavian naming, less childlike than English Timmy. Cognate forms include Timotheus, Timothy, Timoteus, Timoteo, Timothée, Timofey, and Tymoteusz. In recent decades it has been especially visible in German-speaking countries, Finland, the Netherlands, and Estonia.
