Origin
Meaning and history of Tajmere
The name Tajmere has its origins in the ancient Arabic language, tracing back to the 7th century CE. It is believed to be derived from the Arabic word "tajmeer," which means "to gather" or "to bring together." This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with concepts of unity, community, or assembly.
One of the earliest known references to the name Tajmere can be found in the historical records of the Umayyad Caliphate, which ruled over vast territories in the Middle East and North Africa between the 7th and 8th centuries. During this period, the name was borne by several prominent figures, including Tajmere ibn Khalid, a renowned scholar and poet who lived in Damascus in the late 7th century.
As the Islamic faith spread across various regions, the name Tajmere gained popularity among Muslim communities. It is also mentioned in several Islamic texts and manuscripts from the medieval era, though its exact connotations and usage may have varied across different cultural contexts.
Throughout history, several notable individuals have carried the name Tajmere. One such figure was Tajmere al-Andalusi, a renowned mathematician and astronomer from the 10th century who made significant contributions to the field of trigonometry. He was born in Cordoba, Spain, in 940 CE and is recognized for his works on spherical trigonometry and the calculation of sine tables.
Another prominent bearer of the name was Tajmere al-Nahrawani, a Persian polymath who lived in the 9th century CE. He was a prolific scholar and writer, known for his works on various subjects, including philosophy, mathematics, and astronomy. His treatises on logic and metaphysics were highly influential during the Islamic Golden Age.
In the 12th century, Tajmere ibn Abi al-Qasim al-Muqaddasi was a renowned Arab geographer and travel writer. He is best known for his work "Ahsan al-Taqasim fi Ma'rifat al-Aqalim" (The Best Divisions for Knowledge of the Regions), which provided detailed descriptions of the lands and peoples he encountered during his extensive travels across the Middle East, North Africa, and parts of Europe.
Tajmere al-Ghazali, a Sufi mystic and philosopher from the 11th century, was another notable figure with this name. Born in Tus, Iran, in 1058 CE, he is considered one of the most influential thinkers in the history of Islamic philosophy and played a significant role in the revival and spread of Sufism.

FAQ
Tajmere: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Tajmere?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 5 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Tajmere 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 Tajmere a common name?
We classify Tajmere as "Very Rare". It ranks above 18.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 5 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Tajmere most popular?
The single biggest year for Tajmere was 2007, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Tajmere is about 19 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 Tajmere in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Tajmere a male name?

Is Tajmere still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Tajmere 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 Tajmere 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.
