Tymoteusz is the Polish form of Timothy, ultimately from the Greek Timotheos, meaning "honouring God" or "one who honours God." Modern bearers include Polish footballer Tymoteusz Puchacz, who plays as a left-back for Lech Poznań, while the original Greek version belongs to Saint Timothy, a companion of the Apostle Paul. Though no major place is named Tymoteusz directly, the English form Timothy appears in place names such as Timothy, New Hampshire. Notable variants include the Finnish and German short form Timo, as well as the similar Spanish Timoteo and French Timothé. In Poland, the name is traditionally celebrated on its name day, 26 January, and remains a classic choice that bridges Slavic tradition with its ancient biblical roots.
