History & Origin

Tamirra respells Tamara, from the Hebrew tamar, 'date palm,' a name borne by several women in the Hebrew Bible. Its ornate spelling is an American reshaping that surfaced in the later twentieth century, keeping the graceful, fruitful meaning of the original while giving it a distinctive written form.

In the United States it stayed rare in this spelling, given to only about fifteen girls a year even at its peak in the late nineteen-nineties, with use reaching back to the nineteen-seventies. A woman named Tamirra then is in her late twenties today.

Did you know? The date palm behind Tamara, and so Tamirra, was an ancient emblem of beauty and plenty, which is why the biblical Tamar's name endured.
