Meaning & origin
Tamme is an exceedingly rare American name, first recorded in 1957. Its peak year was 1962, after which usage dropped sharply. The name has remained stable in the decades since, appearing only sporadically in Social Security records. As of 2025, no top states are associated with Tamme, and the one-in-N statistic is unavailable due to its scarcity. Tamme likely emerged as a variant spelling of the mid-century favorite Tammy, which was influenced by the popular 1957 film 'Tammy and the Bachelor.' Despite its obscurity, Tamme retains a distinctly mid-20th-century feel.
