      The name Tamika is of American origin and is a modern creation. It is formed by combining the Hebrew name Tamar, which means palm tree, with the suffix -ika. The name Tamika first emerged in the mid-20th century as a distinctly American given name. It is common for parents to create new names by blending existing ones, and Tamika exemplifies this trend.
