Etymology of Timmies

The name Timmies was spawned by the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture that ruled a majority of Britain. It comes from the Old English personal name Tima or the Old German forename Thiemmo. Contrary to some popular theories, Timmies is not derived from Timothy, since that name was not introduced in England until after the Restoration.

Migration of the Timmies family

In an attempt to escape the chaos experienced in England, many English families boarded overcrowded and diseased ships sailing for the shores of North America and other British colonies. Those families hardy enough, and lucky enough, to make the passage intact were rewarded with land and a social environment less prone to religious and political persecution. Many of these families became important contributors to the young colonies in which they settled. Early immigration and passenger lists have documented some of the first Timmiess to arrive on North American shores: Thomas Tims, who settled in Boston in 1715; Andrew Timm, who settled in Philadelphia in 1856; and Elizabeth Tims, who settled in America in 1744.
