History & Origin
Tamaira is best read as a coinage or elaboration of Tamara and Tamira, from Hebrew tamar, 'date palm.' It appears in United States records from the late 1960s but stayed most active later, reaching its small high around 1997. It has always been rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
Because its peak is fairly recent, a girl named Tamaira at that high would be in her late twenties now. It sits beside Tamara and Kamaira as a rhythmic elaboration and, while never common, keeps the graceful 'date palm' meaning of its Hebrew root.
