Meaning & Origin
Timéo is a French masculine given name. It is the French form of the Spanish and Italian Timeo, which in turn derives from Timaeus, the Latinized form of the Greek name Timaios, meaning "to honour" (from Greek timao).The name contributes to Timéo's connotation of respect-esteem-meaning, akin to a moral ideal. Timaeus is also known as the name of Plato's dialogue, where the character Timaeus, a philosopher, explains the origin of the universe. Therefore, the name carries a semantic meaning of timelessness, honour, and wisdom. In Christian tradition, Timaeus appears as the father of a blind man healed by Jesus in the Gospel of Mark (Mark 10:46). Primarily, Timéo acts as an international convention for Timaeus, shared via varied interpretations.
