History & Origin

Tymon is the Polish form of Timon, a Greek name from time, 'honour, esteem' — the same root as Timothy. Timon of Athens gave Shakespeare a tragedy, and a Timon appears among the seven deacons in Acts. The name remains in use in Poland, where it keeps its classical dignity (said 'TY-mun').

It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare here, established in Poland.

Did you know? Timon shows up in three very different places: as one of the seven deacons in the Book of Acts, as the title character of a Shakespeare tragedy, and as a meerkat in a cartoon. The Polish Tymon keeps the old Greek 'honour' root (said 'TY-mun').
