Is Tamyra a boy’s or a girl’s name?

Girls and boys named Tamyra: the SSA national file counts each sex separately.
How many people are named Tamyra, and how old are they?
2,160 alive in 2026, estimated
That is 95% of the 2,274 Americans ever recorded as Tamyra. The median Tamyra alive today is 31 years old; half are between 21 and 52.
The 2020 Census counted 1,845 people named Tamyra (1,843 women and girls, 2 men and boys). SSA’s births carried forward to Census day, April 1, 2020, predict 2,158 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).
