Thamar — unisex name

What the Data Says About Thamar

The Social Security Administration has registered 85 babies named Thamar between 1979 and 2014, spanning 36 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a girl's name, Thamar currently falls outside the top 1,000 girls' names for 2014. The name reached its historical peak in 1998, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Thamar is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 5 additional births since 1982.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Thamar performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 37 births during that ten-year window. Across the 5 decades of recorded activity, Thamar shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Thamar 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 85 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
