History & Origin
Tamico is a modern coinage that joins Tami, a short form of Tamara or Tammy, with an -co or -ko ending. Tamara traces to a Hebrew word for date palm, and the ending lends a sound reminiscent of Japanese -ko names like Emiko. Popular in a small way in the early nineteen-seventies, Tamico blends a familiar American front with an exotic-feeling tail.
Tamico was never common, given to only about twenty girls a year at its faint peak in the early nineteen-seventies. A girl named Tamico then is in her early fifties today.
