Tametha is English in Origin.

Tametha is a modern American feminine name, most plausibly a variant of Tamitha. Tamitha itself is commonly linked to Tabitha, the Aramaic name ṭabīthā meaning “gazelle,” known from the New Testament (Acts 9:36) and revived in English by Puritans. In mid-20th-century United States naming, Tam- names (Tamara, Tamera, Tammy) were fashionable, and Tametha likely arose as an expressive respelling that aligns visually with Tammy while preserving the -tha ending of Tabitha/Tamitha.

Usage of Tametha is rare and largely U.S.-based, appearing in records from the later 20th century without reaching national popularity lists. Parents choosing Tametha often shorten it to Tammy or Tam. Close variants and related forms include Tamitha, Tabitha, Tamara, Tamera, and Tammie. Meaning is commonly taken as “gazelle” via the Tabitha route; some families read it through the Tamara line, yielding the Hebrew “date palm,” reflecting dual possible inspirations.
