Across the 9 decades of recorded activity, Tamra shows a clear decline from its mid-century high. Geographically, the name is most concentrated in California, which accounts for 1,652 births — the largest state-level total in the dataset — followed by Texas and Ohio. In total, SSA state-level files list Tamra in 46 of the 51 U.S. reporting jurisdictions.

No etymological entry is currently available for Tamra in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 13,710 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
