Tahmir

Meaning of Tahmir

Tahmir is a masculine given name of Arabic origin, pronounced tah-MEER (/tɑ.ˈmɪr/), and traditionally associated with notions of prosperity and honor. It first entered U.S. Social Security records in 1995 and has since appeared each year with between 5 and 15 newborns, its national popularity ranking oscillating roughly between 780 and 930. Quantitatively, that represents fewer than 0.001 percent of male births annually—virtually guaranteeing a lone Tahmir in most class rosters. Though it remains outside the mainstream, its steady presence over three decades signals a deliberate preference among parents for a name that combines cultural depth with uncommon usage.
