History & Origin
Tameaka is a variant spelling of Tameka, a coined name that pairs the Ta- prefix with the -meka ending popular in African-American girl-naming. It appears in United States records from around 1973 and reached a modest high in the late 1970s. It was always rare, given to only a couple dozen girls a year even at its peak.
A girl named Tameaka from that period would be in her forties now, a contemporary of the many girls named Tameka in the same years. The fuller spelling stayed a personal variation and never rivaled the standard Tameka, reading today as an of-its-era take on a familiar coinage.
