Meaning & origin
Tamiyah is a modern feminine name that entered U.S. records in 1995 and reached its peak popularity in 2010. By 2025 its rank was 7,885th, with only approximately 1 in 123,636 newborn girls receiving the name that year. The name has been in declining use since 2011, reflecting the broader ebb of -iyah ending names. Though not tied to any specific state or region, Tamiyah fits alongside other creative American coinages that blend familiar sounds into a distinctive identity.
Tamiyah first appears in U.S. birth records in 1995. It is likely a modern invented name, combining the popular -iyah suffix (seen in names like Aaliyah) with the initial sound of Tamia. No traditional etymology or historical usage has been documented prior to the late 20th century.
