Tamitra is of African origin, specifically from the Fulani people of West Africa, and it means "peace." This name gained prominence during the mid-20th century when it was brought to the United States by immigrants from Nigeria and other surrounding countries. Tamitra has since become a unique and captivating choice for parents seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name for their daughter.
