Tamar is of Hebrew origin. It is used mainly in Armenian, English, Hebrew, and Turkish. Biblical name derived literally from the word tamar with the meaning 'date palm, palm tree'. Original forms of the name comprise Tamar (Hebrew) and Thamar (Hebrew). This was a place name mentioned by Ezekiel in the Old Testament; the place has sometimes been equated with Tadmor. Three characters also bore the name, including a daughter-in-law of Judah and a beautiful daughter of King David and the full sister of Absalom. She was raped by her half-brother Amnon, for which Absalom killed him. This story was the basis for Tamar and Other Poems (1925) by Robinson Jeffers.
