Tymon is a unique and uncommon name of Slavic origin. It is derived from the Polish and Czech name Tymoteusz, which is itself derived from the Greek name Timotheos. The Greek name Timotheos is composed of two elements: "timē" meaning honor or value, and "theōs" meaning reverend or divine.
The name Tymon is therefore associated with the concepts of honor, value, and divinity. It is not widely known outside of Slavic cultures, but it has been used throughout history in Poland and the Czech Republic.
