Takiera is of African origin, specifically from the Swahili culture. It's derived from the word "takatifu," which means "holy" or "sacred." This given name, often spelled Takiera but also seen as Takira, has gained popularity in recent years due to its unique sound and meaning. While it may not be as widely known as some other African names, its profound significance makes it a notable choice for parents seeking a distinctive moniker for their child.
The name Takiera experienced a significant spike in popularity between 1993 and 1995 with 12 births each year during that period. However, from 1997 onwards, the number of babies named Takiera consistently declined, never reaching above 10 births per year until it leveled off at around 6 births annually starting in 2006.
