Tiberius Samuel Kirk, known to his grandson as Samuel, was the father of James Kirk and George Samuel Kirk, Sr.. Perhaps due to his first name, he had a fascination with the Roman emperor Tiberius. Tiberius' name was also given to his grandson, James Tiberius Kirk. (TOS novelizations: Star Trek: The Motion Picture, Star Trek)

It was from his grandfather that James T. Kirk learned the swear word "shit". (TOS novelization: Star Trek: The Motion Picture)

In an alternate reality created by Nero's temporal incursion in 2233 Tiberius' daughter-in-law, Winona Kirk suggested Tiberius' name when she and George were naming their newborn son. George rejected that name, instead suggesting Winona's father's name, Jim, though Tiberius was still used as Jim Kirk's middle name in this reality as well. (TOS movie: Star Trek)

AppendicesEdit

His first name, Tiberius, was given in the film Star Trek. Prior to that, he was only referred to as "grandfather Samuel", in the novelization of Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
