Tymon

Meaning of Tymon

Tymon is a masculine name of Greek derivation—rooted in timḗ (τιμή), “honor” or “esteem”—that entered European onomastic traditions through early Christian and Slavic channels, notably in Polish and German contexts. Its bisyllabic form (TY-mən, /ˈtaɪmən/) adheres to Anglo-American phonotactics, presenting a crisp initial aspirated plosive and a metrically balanced cadence. In the United States, Tymon maintains a consistently low but stable profile, with annual occurrences oscillating between five and twenty-four newborns since the mid-1970s and national rankings fluctuating within the 642–937 range; this pattern reflects neither dramatic ascension nor precipitous decline, but rather its enduring status as a distinctive, niche choice. Historical and literary associations—most prominently Shakespeare’s Timon of Athens—imbue the name with an analytical gravitas, appealing to parents who seek a technically precise appellation that conveys measured dignity without resorting to commonplace familiarity.
