Meaning & origin
Tameika is a modern American coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1970. It experienced its highest usage in 1977, when it ranked at its peak popularity. Since then, its usage has remained stable but low, and it has not returned to the top 1,000 names in recent years. The name is a creative respelling or variation of names like Tamika and Tameka, which were also particularly popular among African American families during the 1970s and 1980s. Despite its relative rarity today, Tameika remains a recognizable and distinctive choice. Its top states of use, while not provided, would likely mirror those of similar coinages in the same era.
