Tamia

Date palm tree or heart of a palm

Tamia is a name with multiple potential roots, most notably as a variation of the Hebrew name Tamar, meaning date palm. In some contexts, it is also viewed as a modern elaboration of the name Mia or a rhythmic creation within African American naming traditions. It rose to prominence in the late 1990s and early 2000s, largely influenced by the success of the Canadian singer of the same name.
