Tamzin is Aramaic, Cornish, English, Greek, Latin in Origin.
Tamzin is an English spelling variant of Tamsin, a Cornish feminine form of Thomas. The chain runs through medieval Latin Thomasina and Greek Θωμᾶς (Thomas), from Aramaic təʾōmā, the emphatic form of təʾōm, twin. The -in ending reflects the shortened Cornish and English form rather than an independent Persian element; the reliable literal sense is simply twin.
Tamsin was especially associated with Cornwall and Devon from the medieval and early modern periods, alongside forms such as Thomasina, Thomasine, and Tamson. Tamzin, with z for the sibilant, is a later English spelling and gained visibility in Britain through actors Tamzin Outhwaite, Tamzin Malleson, and Tamzin Merchant. The name remains uncommon in the United States; in England and Wales it was more noticeable around the early 2000s, sometimes outranking Tamsin.
