Tamyra

Meaning of Tamyra

Tamyra (pronounced tuh-MY-ruh, /təˈmaɪrə/) is a feminine given name derived from the Hebrew Tamar, meaning “palm tree.” U.S. Social Security records first record Tamyra in the early 1940s, and although it has never stormed the top tiers, it has appeared intermittently in the lower half of the top 1,000 names—peaking at 113 births (rank 830) in 2004 and registering seven occurrences (rank 951) in 2023. Its understated appeal lies in the quiet strength of its botanical heritage and a phonetic familiarity that still manages a subtly distinctive twist, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a blend of tradition and individuality.
