Meaning & background
(TAH-mah): Jewel/ball associations, and a classic pet-style sound. The name enters U.S. records in U.S. records in 1919. Its strongest year was 1959, at #1,086 nationally. It now sits outside the national top 1,000, which keeps it uncommon. Only about 1,400 children have carried it, making it genuinely rare.
