History & Origin

Tamarah is a variant spelling of Tamara, from the Hebrew tamar, 'date palm'. Borne by biblical figures and later a Slavic royal name, Tamara arrived in mid-century America and spawned spellings like Tamarah, which simply adds a final 'h' to the familiar form.

This spelling was a rarity, cresting faintly in the mid-nineteen-nineties, after Tamara's own peak, with a scattered later presence. It reads as a variant of a late-century favorite rather than a name with its own separate tradition.

Did you know? The name behind Tamarah, the Hebrew 'tamar', names the date palm, a tree so valued in the ancient Near East that it became a symbol of beauty and abundance and appears among the daughters in the Bible.
