Tamarion

Meaning & origin

Tamarion is a modern American coinage that first appeared on the U.S. Social Security Administration's baby name list in the year 2000. It is an invented name that combines a familiar sound from names like Tamara with the trendy suffix -ion, a pattern seen in many contemporary male names. The name reached its highest usage in 2005, when it ranked 6,803, and has been falling in popularity ever since. By 2025, the name was given to approximately 1 in every 142,340 newborn boys, making it an uncommon choice. No U.S. state stood out as a particular stronghold for Tamarion, as its usage was spread thinly across the country. Its trajectory as a falling name, since 2006, suggests that it was a product of the early 2000s naming fashion and has not sustained long-term appeal.

Tamarion is a modern coinage, first recorded in U.S. birth data in the year 2000. It appears to be a blend of the phonetic elements from names like Tamara (a Slavic variation of Tamar, meaning 'palm tree' or 'date palm' in Hebrew) and the suffix -ion, which is common in contemporary American name creation (e.g., Damarion, Jamarion). The name rose in popularity quickly, peaking in 2005, and has since declined. It is almost exclusively given to boys.
