Timandra Origin and Meaning

The name Timandra is a girl's name meaning "one who honors man".

A rare name from Ancient Greece, Timandra appears in Greek mythology and the works of Shakespeare. Reminiscent of Amanda, Tiana, and Alexandra, Timandra could be an unexpected way to honor a Tim or an Andrew.

Derived from the elements timao and andros meaning "to honor, respect" and "of man", it has more recently been borne by comedian and writer Timandra Harkness, and is also the name of a genus of moths.
