does anyone know were the name TIMOTI comes from. Thank you Robert Bateman of 3085, Melbourne.Australia

TIMOTI - can't find the name as given but did find two possibilities: \ TIMOTHY (Irish) variation of TOMELTY, Anglicized form of Gaelic "Mac Tomhaltaigh" and "O'Tomhaltaigh" 'son' and 'descendant of Tomaltach', a byname apparently meaning "Glutton". \ TIMOTIJEVIC (Croation) variation of the Russian "TIMOFEEV", patronym from the given name Timofei "Timothy" (Gk 'Timotheos', from 'timan' (to honour) + 'theos' (God)). I'm wondering if TIMOTI could be a shortening of this name?
