Meaning & History

From Norwegian timian meaning "thyme". The name of plant of the mint family derives from Latin thymum, from Greek thymon, from Proto Indo European dheu-, a base of words meaning "to rise in a cloud" (related to "fume"); so thyme might be the plant "with a strong odor", or it might be related to thyein meaning "burn as a sacrifice", which would indicate the plant was used as incense.
