History & Origin

Temica is a coined American girl's name in the -mica family, close in sound to Tamika. It flared only briefly, touching a small high around 1976 within a short overall run.

Given to only about twenty girls a year at most, its appearance lasted just a handful of years. A girl named Temica then would be in her late forties today. The name reads as a personal, of-the-moment choice of its decade.

Did you know? The -mica ending places Temica beside popular names like Tamika and Shamika, a family of late twentieth-century coinages built from shared, musical syllables.
