Meaning & origin
Tamiah is a modern invented name that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1991. It reached its peak usage in 2003, after which it followed a falling trajectory, declining in use through 2025. The name has never entered the national top 1000, remaining a rare choice. Its formation follows a pattern common among contemporary American coinages, pairing an initial Ta- with the popular -iah suffix. While its meaning is not historically attested, Tamiah shares stylistic similarities with names like Aniyah and Saniyah. No top states for the name are recorded in the Social Security data, reflecting its broad but sparse distribution.
Tamiah first appeared in U.S. records in 1991. It is likely a modern invented name, possibly formed from the fashionable prefix Ta- combined with the popular -iah ending (as seen in names like Jeremiah or Amariah). It may also be a feminine variation of Tamia.
