Tasmia
Meaning of Tasmia
Tasmia is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, derived from the root t-s-m and meaning “praiseworthy.” Pronounced taz-MEE-uh (/tɑzˈmiə/), it entered the U.S. Social Security Administration’s top 1,000 registry in the mid-1990s and has maintained a modest presence, with annual occurrences ranging from five (2012, 2018, 2019) to fourteen (2015) and rankings fluctuating between 854 (1996) and 979 (2007). Its three-syllable structure and the familiar -ia ending mirror patterns in Spanish names such as Sofía and Lucía, bolstering its reception in Hispanic communities across the United States. While Tasmia has never cracked the upper tier of popularity, the steady count of ten newborns bearing the name in 2021 underlines a growing preference for names that blend Arabic heritage with the rhythmic qualities of Latin-based languages.
