Strong's Lexicon Tamar: Tamar Original Word: תָּמָר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word תָּמָר (tamar), meaning "palm tree." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Tamar, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew culture and history. However, the Greek word for palm tree is "φοῖνιξ" (phoinix), which shares the symbolic meaning of victory and beauty. Usage: The name Tamar is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several women, most notably the daughter-in-law of Judah and the daughter of King David. The name signifies beauty and grace, akin to the palm tree, which is a symbol of uprightness and fruitfulness in biblical literature. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the palm tree was a symbol of beauty, fertility, and victory. The name Tamar reflects these attributes, and the women bearing this name in the Bible often play significant roles in the narrative of Israel's history. Tamar, the daughter-in-law of Judah, is known for her bold actions to secure her rights and lineage, while Tamar, the daughter of David, is remembered for her tragic account of violation and its consequences within the royal family.
