The name Timothy has no meaning in Hebrew. It is a Greek name, so it only has meaning in Greek.

Timothy comes from the Greek name Τιμοθεος (Timotheos) meaning "honouring God", derived from τιμαω (timao) "to honour" and θεος (theos) "god".


Saint Timothy was a companion of Paul on his missionary journeys and was the recipient of two of Paul's epistles that appear in the New Testament. He was of both Jewish and Greek ancestry. According to tradition, he was martyred at Ephesus after protesting the worship of Artemis.


In Hebrew, you can spell it טימותיוס, pronounced tee-mo-tay-ooss
