Meaning & origin
Tamikka is a rare African American coinage that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1972. The name saw its peak usage in 1977, but it has never entered the top 1000 names in any year. As of the latest data from 2025, it remains very uncommon, with fewer than five births per year in recent decades. The name was primarily recorded in the 1970s decade, and its trajectory has been stable at a low level since then. The variant spelling distinguishes it from the more common forms Tamika and Tameka. Given its rarity, Tamikka is a distinctive choice that reflects a pattern of creative naming in African American culture.
