Tazmin

Girl name · 4 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Tazmin: 4 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 2006.

Tazmin is a modern variant of Tasmin or Tamsin, which themselves are pet forms of Thomasina, the feminine version of Thomas. The name Thomas ultimately derives from the Aramaic t'om'a, meaning "twin." Though less common than its parent forms, Tazmin has appeared steadily in Scottish birth records since the late 20th century. Notable bearers include a handful of British actors and models—most notably Tazmin Pugh, a television presenter—though the name remains relatively rare. Unlike some Thomas-derived names, Tazmin does not have strong place associations. It does, however, share its root with the Cornish saint name Tamsin, giving it a subtle link to Celtic heritage. Its fresh spelling and gentle sound make Tazmin a distinctive yet accessible choice for parents seeking a softer alternative to classic Thomasina.
