Tammie
Girl name · 84 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Tammie: 84 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 10 births in 1977.
Tammie is a diminutive of Tam, itself the Scots short form of Thomas, ultimately from the Aramaic Te'oma meaning "twin." While often considered a feminine spelling of the nickname, Tammie has been given to both boys and girls in Scotland. The best-known bearer is the American singer Tammie Brown, a cult favourite from *RuPaul's Drag Race*, though the name strongly echoes the legendary Scots outlaw Tam Lin of Border ballad fame. The town of Tamworth in England shares the same root, meaning "enclosure of Tame," from a different source. In Scotland, Tammie is more often a nickname than a formal given name, but it carries a warm, homespun charm.
