Tameka is a 20th-century African American name, possibly from the Hebrew Tama ("twin," feminine of Thomas) elaborated with the -eka suffix popular in 1960s-70s American naming. Star of VH1's T.I. Tameka Empson — British actress (EastEnders). Tameka Raymond is Tameka Foster.
Tameka does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Tameka reduce to 6, The Nurturer. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
