Meaning & origin

Tamirra is a modern feminine name that entered U.S. birth records in 1973 and saw its highest usage in 1998, which remains its peak year. It has never appeared in the top 1000 rankings, maintaining a rare and stable presence in the decades since. The name was not recorded in any of the top states, suggesting it has primarily been given sporadically across the country. Tamirra's construction reflects a broader naming trend of blending familiar sounds from names like Tamara with fashionable endings, creating a unique identity that has endured modestly over the years.

Tamirra is a modern coinage that first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1973. It likely combines the popular prefix Tam- (from names like Tammy or Tamara) with the fashionable -irra suffix, similar to names like Keira or Mira. It does not have ancient roots but emerged as a distinctive feminine given name in the late 20th century.
