Origin
Meaning and history of Tymisha
The name Tymisha is believed to have its origins in the Slavic languages, particularly Russian and Ukrainian. It is a female name that can be traced back to the late 19th century and early 20th century in these regions.
Tymisha is thought to be a diminutive form of the name Timofey, which itself is derived from the Greek name Timotheos. Timotheos is composed of the elements "timos" meaning "honor" and "theos" meaning "god." Thus, Tymisha may have initially carried the meaning of "honorable" or "respected."
In its earliest recorded instances, Tymisha appeared as a feminine form of the more common male name Timofey in Russian and Ukrainian households. It was a way to create a unique and affectionate version of the name for girls.
While there are no definitive records of the name Tymisha appearing in ancient texts or religious scriptures, its Greek roots suggest it may have been used in some form in the Eastern Orthodox Christian communities of Eastern Europe.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Tymisha was Tymisha Oleksandrivna, a Ukrainian painter and illustrator who lived from 1885 to 1952. Her works captured the everyday life and folklore of Ukraine in the early 20th century.
Another notable figure was Tymisha Khmelnitska, a Ukrainian noblewoman and military commander who lived in the 17th century. She played a significant role in the Khmelnytsky Uprising against Polish rule in Ukraine.
In the realm of literature, Tymisha Rozumova was a Russian poet and writer who lived from 1910 to 1985. Her works explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition.
Tymisha Kuznetsova, born in 1925, was a renowned Russian ballerina and choreographer. She performed with the Bolshoi Ballet and later served as the artistic director of the Moscow Classical Ballet.
Lastly, Tymisha Voloshina, a Soviet actress and singer, graced the stage and screen from the 1950s to the 1980s. She was known for her roles in popular Soviet films and her powerful operatic voice.
While these are just a few examples, the name Tymisha has undoubtedly been carried by many remarkable individuals throughout history, each contributing to the rich cultural tapestry of the regions where it originated and flourished.

FAQ
Tymisha: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tymisha?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 49 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tymisha going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 6,994,986 US residents.
Is Tymisha a common name?
We classify Tymisha as "Very Rare". It ranks above 54% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 51 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tymisha most popular?
The single biggest year for Tymisha was 1993, when 9 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tymisha is about 34 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Tymisha in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tymisha a female name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tymisha in the SSA data are female. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Tymisha still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tymisha in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Tymisha can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
