What does Timmy mean?
/ˈtɪmi/2 syllables

Timmy is a diminutive of Timothy, which comes from the Ancient Greek Timotheos, built from tīmáō, "to honor," combined with theos, "god" — together suggesting "honoring God." The friendly, familiar Timmy form has long stood on its own as a name, independent of its longer root.

Timmy has an easygoing, boy-next-door warmth to it — approachable and a little playful, the kind of name that suits a pet who greets everyone like an old friend.
