Tymon is supposedly Greek (odd..that side of my family is 100% Irish) and means "Praise the Lord"

Really? Do you know how they got Tymon out of "theon hymneo"? Not that I'm doubting you, (you would know where your name comes better than I), but it seems odd to me.

Well..actually you probably know where my last name comes from better then I! I just looked it up on the internet. Enlighten me!

So, I did a few searches on Yahoo, and, near as I can tell, Tymon is one of several forms of the surname Timmons which itself is a diminutive form of Timothy. Timothy, as you might know, apparently derives from "timao theon" which means "honoring God".
