The word Timbit is a play on the word "tidbit" (a delicate bit or morsel of food) and the name of restaurant founder [[Tim Hortons]].<ref name="timhortons.com">{{Cite web|url=https://www.timhortons.com/ca/fr/menu/timbits.php|title=Timbits(MD) Tim Hortons|website=Tim Hortons}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dictionary.com/browse/tidbit|title=Definition of tidbit &#124; Dictionary.com|website=www.dictionary.com}}</ref> As of 2009, they are available in various flavors that differ from store to store.

Other doughnut chains in Canada and the [[United States]] sell virtually identical products, often called "[[doughnut hole|doughnut holes]]". For instance, the American coffee and donut company [[Dunkin' Donuts]], sells ''munchkins''. The majority of Canadians generally use the Timbits trademark to designate the product, while French-speaking Canadians prefer to use the generic term "''trous de beigne''". In the [[francophone]] Tim Hortons locations, however, they are still referred to as Timbits.<ref name="timhortons.com"/>
