Tamatha

Tamatha is a feminine name that appears to be a variant of Tabitha or Samantha. With potential biblical connections through Tabitha (a woman known for her charitable works in the New Testament) and the popularity of Samantha, Tamatha emerged as a unique alternative primarily in the mid-20th century. The name has a melodic quality with its three syllables and soft consonants. While never reaching the popularity heights of Samantha, Tamatha saw modest usage in the United States during the 1960s-1970s when similar-sounding names were trending. The name conveys a gentle, feminine quality while maintaining a slightly unconventional edge that distinguishes it from more common alternatives.

Pronounced tuh-MAH-thuh.

As of October 2026, Tamatha ranked #13318 in US births in 1996 SSA, peaked at #499 in 1968.
