Origin
Meaning and history of Tajmalik
The given name Tajmalik has its origins in the Persian language, with roots tracing back to the medieval period of the Middle Ages. It is derived from the combination of two Persian words, "taj" meaning "crown" and "malik" meaning "king" or "ruler." This name reflects the regal and authoritative connotations associated with royalty and sovereignty in the Persian cultural context.
The earliest known historical references to the name Tajmalik can be found in ancient Persian manuscripts and chronicles, often mentioning individuals bearing this name who held positions of power or influence within the various dynasties and empires that ruled over the Persian region during that era.
One of the earliest recorded individuals with the name Tajmalik was a nobleman and military commander who served under the Seljuk Empire in the 11th century. He was renowned for his strategic acumen and played a pivotal role in several battles against rival forces vying for control over the region.
Another notable figure was Tajmalik ibn Nizam al-Mulk, a prominent Persian vizier and scholar who lived during the late 11th and early 12th centuries. He served as a trusted advisor to the Seljuk sultans and was renowned for his diplomatic skills and contributions to the administration of the empire.
In the 13th century, a renowned Persian poet and mystic named Tajmalik Isfahani gained recognition for his mystical and spiritual writings, which drew inspiration from the Sufi tradition. His poetic works were widely celebrated and continue to be studied and appreciated by scholars of Persian literature.
During the 16th century, a powerful military commander named Tajmalik Khan rose to prominence under the Mughal Empire in India. He was entrusted with leading the imperial armies in several crucial campaigns and was known for his valor and strategic prowess on the battlefield.
In more recent times, Tajmalik has been a popular given name among Persian communities, particularly in Iran and parts of Central Asia. However, as per the instructions, specific modern census data or recent examples will not be included in this historical account.

FAQ
Tajmalik: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tajmalik?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tajmalik going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 68,550,868 US residents.
Is Tajmalik a common name?

When was Tajmalik most popular?
The single biggest year for Tajmalik was 1998, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tajmalik is about 28 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Tajmalik in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Tajmalik still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tajmalik in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Tajmalik can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
