Meaning:*
This name derives from the Ancient Greek name “Diótīmos (Δῐότῑμος),” composed of two elements: “dîos ‎(δῖος)” (heavenly, divine, god, noble) plus “tīmḗ ‎(τῑμή) timáō ‎(τιμάω)” (to pay honor to, to hold in reverence, treat honorably, to honor, revere, worship, esteem). In turn, the name means “honored by God.” 1) Diotima is a philosopher who plays an essential role in Plato’s Symposium. Her ideas are the origin of the concept of Platonic love. Since the only source concerning her is Plato, it is uncertain whether she was a real historical personage or merely a fictional creation. 2) Diótimos was an elegiac and epic poet of Greece.
