- The first name Tamir is uncommon.
- I don't recall seeing it before, so I would hesitate to say it is typical for any group.
- If I had first encountered it with no further information other than that it was the name of an American I might speculate that the person might be black, as (in America) black people are more likely to give their children unusual names that don't sound English, but I wouldn't feel any degree of certainty about it.
