History & Origin

Tameki is difficult to pin to a single source. It can be read as a Japanese-influenced name rendered in plain romaji, or as a coinage built from the fashionable Ta- opening that produced Tameka and Tamika. Because the route is uncertain, we present it honestly rather than assigning a firm meaning.

It was never common, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its brief peak in the nineteen-seventies, and quickly faded. A girl named Tameki then is in middle age today.

Did you know? Tameki surfaced in United States records only for a few years in the nineteen-seventies, sitting near sound-alikes like Tamiko and Tameka whose popularity it briefly shadowed.
