Tamla is an intriguing and distinctive given name, believed to have originated from the Scottish Gaelic word "tamhlach", which translates to "warm" or "cosy". This name, while uncommon, lends a unique touch to those who bear it, suggesting a person with a warm and inviting spirit. It could also be derived from Tamar, meaning "palm tree", further emphasizing its potential meanings of growth, resilience, and beauty.
"Tamla's popularity peaked in the early 1970s with a high of 48 births in 1971, but it has since declined, with only 5-10 births per year from 1982 onwards."
