The first name 
Tamir

Tamir is a male first name. In very rare cases it is also used for girls.

When two boys called Tamir meet...

… it’s a special occasion. That’s because the name Tamir is quite rare in the US. While it’s still a name in use, lately, only approximately 4 out of 100,000 boys have been named Tamir. In the SmartGenius ranking, Tamir is #1,801 on the list of most common boys names. If you polled the whole US population – children, adults and seniors – you’d find less than one in 10,000 to be named Tamir.

Tamir -
special from day one

In fact, the name Tamir hardly fits the trend of first names for boys. Between 1976 and 1999, young parents changed that a bit. For many years, Tamir wasn't given at all (or at least less than 5 times, because that's the number required for a name to appear in the statistics), but by 1998, the name was more popular than ever. Although the name never ranked higher than position 1,323, 79 parents chose it in 1998 as a potential new rising star on the horizon of beautiful and rare names. If your name is Tamir, you were already special when you were born - and you did your best to become a trendsetter.

In years where the graph has no value, the name Tamir was given less than five times or even none at all in the entire USA.

Tamir - originality welcome!

In 2022, expectant parents chose the rare name Tamir a few times. Among all newborn boys, it ranked 1,511, for a total of 103 babies.

As Tamir seems to be a bit more popular in the middle of the 20th century, it proves to remain a great rarity in 2022.
