Origin
Meaning and history of Tymonte
The name Tymonte has its origins in the Slavic languages, particularly Polish. It is a masculine given name that likely emerged in the Middle Ages, around the 12th to 14th centuries. The name is derived from the Polish word "tymon," which means "thyme," a herb used for culinary and medicinal purposes in ancient times.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Tymonte can be found in historical records from the Krakow region of Poland, where a nobleman named Tymonte Wawrzyniec was mentioned in a manuscript dated around 1350. This suggests that the name was in use among the Polish nobility during that era.
In the 16th century, a Polish scholar and theologian named Tymonte Zasławski (1520-1585) gained recognition for his works on religious philosophy and his contributions to the Polish Reformation movement. His writings and teachings played a significant role in shaping the intellectual landscape of the time.
Another notable figure bearing the name Tymonte was a Polish military commander named Tymonte Kazimierz Mikulski (1675-1742). He served in the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth's army and was renowned for his strategic prowess and bravery in various battles against Swedish and Russian forces during the Great Northern War.
In the 19th century, a Polish artist named Tymonte Niesiołowski (1823-1888) gained recognition for his landscape paintings, which captured the natural beauty of the Polish countryside. His works are now part of various art collections and museums across Poland.
The name Tymonte also found its way into literature, with a character named Tymonte appearing in Henryk Sienkiewicz's historical novel "The Deluge," which was set during the Swedish invasion of Poland in the 17th century. This literary reference further solidified the name's connection to Polish culture and history.
While the name Tymonte is not as widely used today as it once was, it remains a part of Polish cultural heritage and serves as a reminder of the country's rich history and traditions.

FAQ
Tymonte: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tymonte?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tymonte 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 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Tymonte a common name?
We classify Tymonte as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tymonte most popular?
The single biggest year for Tymonte was 1998, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tymonte is about 28 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 Tymonte in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tymonte a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Tymonte in the SSA data are male. 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 Tymonte still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tymonte 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 Tymonte 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.
