Timothée Origin and Meaning

The name Timothée is a boy's name of French origin.

Timothée is the French form of Timothy, a masculine name with ancient Greek origins meaning 'honoring God' or 'honored by God.' This elegant variation gained international recognition through French-American actor Timothée Chalamet. The accent on the final 'e' (acute accent) indicates the French pronunciation ending with an 'ay' sound rather than a silent 'e.' While common in French-speaking regions, particularly Quebec, Switzerland, and France, it remains distinctive elsewhere. The name carries associations with sophistication, artistic sensibility, and cosmopolitan flair. Timothée offers parents a refined European alternative to the more common Timothy, blending biblical heritage with French cultural elegance.
