History & Origin

Tamecia is a coinage on the pattern of Tameka, Tamika, and Lakecia, names that spread among African American families in the 1960s and 1970s. It appears in United States records from around 1970 and reached a small high around 1978.

A girl named Tamecia then would be in her forties now. It reads as a warm, of-its-era coinage and has not revived, though its gentle -ecia ending keeps it in step with the whole Tameka family.

Did you know? Tamecia shares the Tam- opening of Tameka and Tamika, dressed with a smooth -ecia ending.
