Meanings and history of the name Timarion

I work at a University and coaxed a friendly old scholar to see if they could find me a meaning for this name. It's old, and it has latin roots. He said the -ion makes the name "diminuitive" and so his best translation of the meaning was "honored little one". Nice huh?
