"Timable" is an original word coined to mean "able to time," as explained on the platform's website. The omission of the letter "e" follows a pattern seen in English words like "scalable" and "writable." The name is often misspelled as "timeable" or "timetable." As of now, there is no corresponding Chinese name for Timable.

Event listings are contributed by organizers through a Web 2.0 approach or published by Timable Editors. By the end of 2013, the platform had recorded over 23,000 events.
