Coincidentally, your username comes up next in Hebrews 13:23
#5095 used 28 times in 28 verses. All in Acts, Epistles of Paul and 1 time in Hebrews.
Note: Bible versions that use the T-R greek text show him mentioned in Hebrews 13:25, but that is missing in all the other greek texts from what I seen.

Strong's Number G5095 matches the Greek Τιμόθεος (Timotheos), which occurs 28 times in 28 verses in the Greek concordance of the KJV
5095. Timotheos from 5092 and 2316; dear to God;
Timotheus, a Christian:--Timotheus, Timothy.
5092. time from 5099; a value, i.e. money paid, or (concretely and collectively) valuables; by analogy, esteem (especially of the highest degree), or the dignity itself:--honour, precious, price, some.
2316. theos theh'-os of uncertain affinity; a deity, especially (with 3588) the supreme Divinity; figuratively, a magistrate; by Hebraism, very:--X exceeding, God, god(-ly, -ward).
Timothy = "honouring God"
1) a resident of Lystra, apparently, whose father was a Greek and mother a Jewess; he was Paul's travelling companion and fellow labourer
