History & Origin

Tomeca belongs to a tight knot of coined girl names built on the -meka sound. It is not descended from an older name but assembled from a fashionable prefix and ending, the way much African American naming of its decade worked, prizing a fresh and personal sound.

Its use was slight and short, a couple dozen girls a year at most around 1975 before it slipped away. A Tomeca born then is in her late forties now, the name a marker of that inventive mid-seventies moment.

Did you know? Tomeca is one of several near-identical spellings, Tomeka, Tameka, Temekia, that appeared together in the same years from the same handful of sounds.
