I'm speaking of the noun having to do with an interval of time.
I need this for programming purposes and it appears some people use "time span" and others "timespan" so I assume both are correct.
Answer
Merriam-Webster doesn't have an entry for timespan. Time span is correct, as you are referring to a span of time. I could see the argument for both being correct, though, as many other "Y of X" are converted into single word XY in english.
For programmers, timespan is used because spaces are not allowed in many places. If you are speaking to programers, timespan will be understood.
