There is no publicly available count of people named "Tim" in Edmonton.
Why This Data Doesn't Exist
- Privacy laws: Canada's Statistics Canada does not release name-frequency data at the municipal level.
- Name variability: "Tim" is a diminutive of Timothy, Timotheus, Timon, etc.; many Tims may be registered as Timothy.
- Dynamic population: Births, deaths, migration, and name changes make any snapshot instantly outdated.
Proxy Estimates
Nationally, Timothy ranked ~#200 in Canadian baby names (2020s). With Edmonton metro ~1.5M, a rough guess might be 2,000–5,000 Tims/Timothys—but this is pure speculation.
