Tamiris is in Origin.

Tamiris (also Tâmiris) is a Brazilian Portuguese feminine name. It most often traces to Greek Thamyris, the famed Thracian bard of myth, whose etymology is obscure; in modern usage it is also associated with Tomyris/Tomiris, the legendary Massagetae queen known from Classical sources. Because of this blended lineage, a single, consensual meaning is uncertain, though contemporary interpretations emphasize strength, independence, and sometimes an artistic or musical connotation.

The name rose to prominence in Brazil in the late 20th century amid creative respellings of classical names and remains familiar there, though not traditionally Lusitanian. Variants include Tamires, Tamyris, Thamiris, Thamyres, and Thamires; related historical forms are Thamyris and Tomyris/Tomiris. Diminutives such as Tami, Tammy, and Miris occur in everyday use. Today, Tamiris is chiefly found in Brazil and Lusophone diaspora communities, with sporadic appearance in Spanish- and English-speaking contexts.
