Meaning and background

The story behind Tima

Tima is attested as a person's familiar name in an institutional biography. UC Santa Barbara's Iranian Studies Initiative presents Fatemeh Kameli as Fatemeh (Tima) Kameli and describes her studies in ancient Iranian history. This directly documents the spelling in use beside Fatemeh. It does not prove that all people called Tima share that full name, or supply a universal translation for the shorter form.

Association
UC Santa Barbara's Iranian Studies Initiative identifies historian Fatemeh Kameli with the name Tima in parentheses. Source
