Tamiqua

Tamiqua is a feminine name that appears to have emerged in the United States in the latter part of the 20th century. It may have developed as a creative combination of the prefix 'Tam-' (found in names like Tamara or Tammy) with the '-iqua' suffix that became a naming element in some contemporary American names. The name shows limited usage in records beginning primarily in the 1970s and 1980s. Tamiqua reached its modest peak in popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s but has remained relatively uncommon overall. The melodic quality of the name, with its three syllables and distinctive ending, follows phonetic patterns seen in other creative name formations of the same period. Usage has declined in recent decades, making it now quite rare.

Pronounced tah-MEE-kwuh.

As of October 2026, Tamiqua ranked #11859 for girls in US births in 1983 SSA, peaked at #10070 for girls in 1979.
