History & Origin
Tamecka is a spelling variant of Tameka or Tamika, a coined name in the popular -ika family that also gave Tanika and Shameka. It appears in United States records from around 1971 and touched a faint high around 1975. It was never common, given to only a couple dozen girls a year.
A girl named Tamecka then would be in her fifties now, part of the wider Tamika-and-Tameka wave. The -ecka spelling marks it as a distinctive of-its-era variant; it has not revived, with Tamika and Tameka the more familiar forms.
