History & Origin

Tammera is one of many spellings that gathered around Tamara in the mid-twentieth century. The root is Hebrew tamar, 'date palm,' a name carried by several women in the Hebrew Bible. This particular form leans on the familiar nickname Tammy while keeping the three-beat flow of Tamara.

The spelling crested around 1963 and had mostly vanished by the early 2000s, so a Tammera today reads as Gen X. Tamara endures more steadily, but this ornate variant has not revived and now feels tied to its specific sixties moment.

Did you know? Tammera hit its peak in the early 1960s, just as Tamara and its cousins were spreading through American nurseries.
