Βαρτιμαῖος
Bartimaîos
Bartimaeus
A proper noun used as a personal name, most notably referring in the New Testament to a specific individual identified as 'son of Timaeus.' The name itself is semitic in form, combining an Aramaic or Hebrew patronymic prefix with a Greek-transliterated name. Its primary lexical sense is the personal designation of Bartimaeus in Mark 10:46—a blind beggar identified by his relationship to his father, Timaeus. The semantic range is limited due to its function as a proper name, but the elements in the name may bear connotations based on their original meanings in Semitic and Greek contexts.
