Meaning & origin
Tammera is a mid-20th century American name that first appeared in the Social Security Administration records in 1957. Its use peaked in 1963, reflecting the era's penchant for names ending with the 'a' sound and creative spellings of established names like Tamara. The name remained in modest use through the 1960s but never broke into widespread popularity; its trajectory has since been stable, with very few births recorded annually. Tammera has not been associated with any top states in the data, indicating it was used sporadically across the country. Overall, Tammera represents a niche choice that captures a specific vintage style without ever becoming common.
Tammera first appeared in United States birth records in 1957, likely as a creative spelling variation of Tamara or a feminine form of Tammy, both of which were fashionable in the mid-20th century. It gained modest use in the 1960s and early 1970s but never entered widespread popularity. The name's formation follows a pattern of adding a feminine suffix to a familiar root, common in modern American coinages.
