Tim is a name, originally a short form of Timothy. It is a version of the Greek name Τιμόθεος (Timόtheos) meaning "one who honours God", from τιμή "honour" and θεός "god".[1][2][3] Tim (and its variations) is a common name in several countries.
In Glasgow, Scotland Tim is a slang term for a Catholic.[4][5]
