(November 2015) (Learn how and when to remove this template message) </Td> </Tr> <P> Tamar (Hebrew: תמר ‬) is a female name of Hebrew origin, meaning "date" (the fruit), "date palm" or just "palm tree". There are three characters in the Bible with this name . The pronunciation of Tamar depends on each so - named person's language, culture, and idiolectic preference; typical pronunciations in English are / ˈtɑːmər / and / ˈteɪmər / . Variants include Tamary and "Tamara". </P> <P> The name was not often used in traditional Jewish societies, possibly because both Biblical characters bearing the name are depicted as involved in controversial sexual affairs . It was, however, among the Biblical names revived and actively promoted by the Zionist pioneers, and is a common female name in contemporary Israel (often shortened, as in other languages, to "Tammy" (תמי)--which is sometimes treated as name on its own). </P>
