Character Name
Timoteo
Timoteo Timoteo carries the Greek theological ideal of divine honor encoded in its two components — a name that presents the bearer's relationship with the divine as one of mutual honoring, a reciprocal recognition that elevates both parties. The New Testament Timothy was notably young for his responsibilities and was counseled by Paul to overcome timidity and assert his authority despite his youth, giving the name an interesting undertow of courage finding its strength. It suits characters who must discover their authority in difficult circumstances.

More Ancient Greek names
Nicoletta
“An Italian diminutive of Nicola/Nicole, from the Greek Nikolaos composed of nike meaning "victory" and laos meaning "people" — thus "victory of the people" or "people's champion". Nicholas was the name of the patron saint of sailors, merchants, and children, whose legend of generosity gave rise to the Santa Claus tradition. The -etta suffix adds Italian diminutive affection.”
Zetta
“Possibly derived from the Greek letter zeta (Ζ), the sixth letter of the Greek alphabet, from the Hebrew zayin. Alternatively it may be a diminutive of Rosetta or Elizabetta in Italian naming tradition, or related to the Sicilian and Southern Italian feminine naming pattern that creates independent diminutives. It is rare and carries a distinctive classical brevity.”
Irene
“From the Ancient Greek Eirene meaning "peace", from the root eirene related to the verb eiro meaning "to join, to connect". In Greek mythology Eirene was the goddess of peace, one of the Horae (goddesses of the seasons), daughter of Zeus and Themis. The name was popularized in the Christian world through Saint Irene, a martyr venerated in the Eastern Orthodox tradition.”
Thaddeus
“From the Greek Thaddaios, itself likely an Aramaic name meaning "heart" or "courageous heart" — from the Aramaic tad meaning "heart". Some scholars derive it from a Hebrew root meaning "praise". Thaddaeus was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus, also identified with Jude the Apostle, which made the name common in Catholic countries through the medieval period.”
Corrine
“A variant spelling of Corinne, from the Ancient Greek Korinna, derived from kore meaning "maiden" or "girl". The original Korinna was a celebrated lyric poet of ancient Boeotia who was said to have competed against — and defeated — Pindar. The name entered modern European usage partly through Germaine de Staël's influential 1807 novel.”
Laerte
“The Italian form of Laertes, from the Ancient Greek Laertes, composed of laos meaning "people" and erdo meaning "to accomplish, to do" — possibly meaning "one who accomplishes things for the people". In Greek mythology Laertes was the father of Odysseus and king of Ithaca, renowned for his patient endurance during his son's long absence.”
