Tamar.

  1. Tamar

    Girl

    Tamar has a queen in its history. Tamar was borne by a medieval ruling queen of Georgia. If a historical namesake matters to you, this is a person to explore alongside the name's Hebrew story.

    A Hebrew name for the date palm. Tamar means “date palm” in Hebrew and is recorded as a feminine name with biblical use.

    This is the Hebrew derivation; a shared spelling alone does not establish the same history in every tradition.
