What is the meaning of the name Thamires ?

Thamires is in Origin.

Thamires is a Brazilian Portuguese feminine given name, a modern orthographic variant of Tamires/Tamiris. The cluster of forms traces back to the classical Greek Thamyris (Latin Thamyris), a mythic Thracian bard, and is often conflated with Tomyris, the Scythian-Massagetae queen known from Herodotus. Because these source names are transmitted through Greek and of non-Hellenic origin, their etymology is uncertain; no reliable lexical meaning is established. Some Brazilian sources connect Thamires to Hebrew Tamar (“date palm”), but this is considered a folk etymology rather than a proven derivation.

In Brazil the name appears from the mid-20th century and rose sharply in the 1980s–2000s, becoming familiar through popular culture and sport; it remains rare in Portugal and elsewhere. Common variants include Tamires (most frequent), Thamyres, Thamiris, Tamyris, and Thamirys; diminutives and short forms include Tami, Thá, and Mimi.
