Meaning and background
The story behind Timo
Timo has several independently recorded personal-name routes. Behind the Name gives a short form of Timotheus in Finnish, Estonian, German, and Dutch; a Germanic route through Thiemo and Thietmar; and an ancient Greek feminine form of Timon. These entries do not supply one shared etymology. The language and intended parent name are therefore important before assigning a meaning or gender to the compact modern spelling.
