History & Origin

Tamikka is an ornate spelling of Tamika, one of the standout coined names of African American naming from the nineteen-sixties on. Tamika has been variously linked to a Japanese element or read as a Ta- plus -mika coinage; either way it is a modern name, and Tamikka is a spelling flourish on it.

This exact spelling stayed small: only a couple dozen girls a year, with a high point around 1977 and a run that closes in the late nineteen-eighties. A girl named Tamikka then is around fifty now. It travels with the far more common Tamika rather than standing out on its own.

Did you know? Tamikka just doubles the 'k' of Tamika, a name that swept African American naming from the sixties onward as a fresh, rhythmic coinage.
