Tamara is a feminine given name of Hebrew, Arabic, Spanish, Hindi, Sanskrit and Russian origins. It means date, date palm or palm tree and it is derived from biblical name Tamar (Hebrew: תמר tamar) and in the Arabic from the singular form Tamra (Arabic: تَمْرَة tamrah) and the plural form Tamar (Arabic: تَمْر tamr). It used to be a common name in the 1970s in the English-speaking world. The variant, Tamar, is the second most popular name in Israel; it is also popular in Russia.
