Tamar name meaning:

The name Tamar is of Hebrew origin and means "palm tree" or "date palm." It is a unisex name, but it is more commonly used for girls. In the Bible, Tamar is also the name of several women, including the daughter-in-law of Judah who disguised herself as a prostitute to conceive a child with him. This story is often seen as a tale of trickery and deception.

For a boy named Tamar, the meaning of the name can still be interpreted as symbolizing strength, resilience, and growth. Just as a palm tree can withstand harsh conditions and still thrive, a boy named Tamar may be seen as someone who is resilient in the face of challenges and continues to grow and flourish. The name can also evoke feelings of exoticism and uniqueness, as palm trees are often associated with tropical and exotic landscapes.
