Is Tamira a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Tamira: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Tamira, and how old are they?
2,080 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 97% of the 2,158 Americans ever recorded as Tamira. The median Tamira alive today is 31 years old; half are between 22 and 46.
The 2020 Census counted 1,745 people named Tamira (1,735 women and girls, 10 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,043 born in the U.S. The Census count is 15% below that prediction. Possible reasons: people who give a short form or another name to the Census, and a survival estimate that can run high.

An estimate, not a count. SSA’s files count people born in the United States who received a Social Security number, so anyone born abroad is not in them; before 1937 most people got a number as adults, and their survival is counted from that age.
Living estimate: SSA births carried forward with the survival rates in SSA’s cohort life tables (2024 Trustees Report) for each birth year and sex. How the estimate is made. Count: Census Bureau, first names in the 2020 Census (released April 14, 2026; names reported 100 or more times, with the Bureau’s disclosure-avoidance adjustment).
Names spelled alike
Of these 8 names spelled alike, given to 169,303 babies since 1880, Tamira is the sixth most given (1.3% of them). In 2025 none of their 135 babies recorded by SSA was a Tamira (SSA lists a name only with 5 or more babies of one sex).

Some are separate names, not spellings of one.
