Tamiah, of Hebrew origin, means "tall" and is often used as an alternative spelling for Tamara. It gained popularity in the United States during the late 20th century, but remains relatively uncommon worldwide. The name has a unique sound that sets it apart from other popular names, making it distinctive yet easy to pronounce. Tamiah has no traditional variants or nickname forms, allowing it to stand alone as a strong and independent choice for a child's name.
The name Tamiah experienced a significant rise and fall in popularity over the past few decades. After starting with just five births in 1991, it peaked at 65 births in 2003, before declining steadily to eight births in both 2022 and 2023. Despite this decline, Tamiah has still been given to a total of 794 newborns between 1991 and 2023.
