Meaning & origin
Tammra is a rare spelling of the classic name Tamara, a feminine form of the biblical Tamar. First recorded in 1957, it saw its highest usage in 1969, with a modest number of births. Since then, the name has been in steady but extremely low use, never entering the U.S. top 1000. Its trajectory is stable, meaning it has not experienced a recent revival. As a variant, Tammra offers a distinctive alternative to more common forms like Tamara or Tamra, while still carrying the same Hebrew meaning of 'date palm.' Due to its rarity, no state-level popularity data is available.
Tammra is a variant of Tamara, the Russian feminine form of Tamar, a Hebrew name borne in the Bible by a daughter of King David. The root Hebrew word 'tamar' means date palm or palm tree. The name gained popularity in the English-speaking world in the mid-20th century, though Tammra remains a rare spelling.
