History & Origin

Tammatha is a decorative respelling that sits between Tabatha and Tammy. Its clearest root is Tabitha, from the Aramaic for 'gazelle,' famous from the Book of Acts. The doubled letters mark it as a product of the late-sixties taste for elaborate spellings.

It was among the rarer names here, given to only a couple dozen girls a year in a short window around the late nineteen-sixties. A girl named Tammatha then would be in her fifties today.

Did you know? Tammatha echoes Tabitha, whose Aramaic root means 'gazelle' — the name of a woman restored to life in the New Testament.
