Lametra is a unique and distinctive given name of American origin. It is derived from the Latin word 'lumen', meaning light, combined with the suffix '-tra', suggesting 'bringer of light'. This name has gained popularity in recent years, particularly among African American communities, where it has become a fashionable choice for parents seeking unusual yet meaningful names for their daughters. The name Lametra is composed of four syllables, giving it a melodic and rhythmic quality when spoken aloud. Its rarity adds to its allure, as it stands out among more commonly used names without being overly exotic or difficult to pronounce.
"Lametra experienced a surge in popularity with ten births recorded in 1977. However, it remained relatively uncommon overall, with just fifty-seven babies named Lametra born between 1970 and 1984."
