Timothey is Greek in Origin.
Timothey is an uncommon English variant of Timothy, ultimately from Greek Timotheos meaning “one who honors God” or “honored by God,” from timaō “to honor” + theos “god.” The name reached Western Europe via Latin Timotheus and the New Testament, where Saint Timothy, a close companion of the apostle Paul, lends the name strong early Christian currency. It flourished among Reformation and Puritan families and later enjoyed broad revival in English-speaking countries, especially in the mid-20th century.
While Timothey appears sporadically as an alternative spelling, the standard English form is Timothy; related forms include French Timothée, Spanish and Italian Timoteo, German Timotheus, Polish Tymoteusz, Russian Timofey (Тимофей), and Ukrainian Tymofii/Tymofiy. Feminine counterparts include Timothea/Timotea. Common short forms are Tim, Timo, and Timmy. Other spellings include Timothee, Timmothy, and Tymothy. The name carries associations of reverence, steadfastness, and mentorship.
