History & Origin

Tamarra is a respelling of Tamara, itself from Hebrew Tamar, the 'date palm'. The palm stood for grace and fruitfulness in the ancient Near East, and the Russian-flavoured Tamara carried the name into wide twentieth-century use.

This spelling stayed uncommon, reaching a modest peak around 1980 as Tamara flourished, then easing off. It reads as a later-twentieth-century spelling and is rare today.

Did you know? The parent name Tamar appears more than once in the Hebrew Bible, so the graceful 'date palm' image behind Tamarra is genuinely ancient.
