Tameyah is English in Origin.

Tameyah is a modern feminine given name in the U.S., likely a creative elaboration of Tamia or Tamiya, themselves linked to Tamara and the contemporary -iyah trend. The Tam- element connects to Hebrew Tamar, "date palm," while the -yah ending can evoke the divine name Yah in Hebrew or serve as a pleasing melodic suffix. Common pronunciations include tah-MEE-yah and tuh-MAY-uh. Variant forms: Tamiyah, Tamiya, Tameya, Tamia, Tamaya, Tamyah, Tameia.

Documented usage rises in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, especially within African-American communities that have innovated lyrical, blended names. Because Tameyah is a modern coinage, meanings are interpretive rather than fixed: some read it as "date palm of God," others as "upright/pure" via Hebrew tamim, or as a fusion of Tamara and Mia ("mine" in Italian/Spanish). Rare in statistics, it offers a distinctive yet rooted alternative.
