I love this name Tamar from the Miracle Maker the story of Jesus animated stop motion British film from 2000.
It's about 12 year old beauty girl, she was very sick and then Jesus came and said "little girl rise it's time to get up".
And Roman-Britain-celtic fairy tale from Wales with my oc from Jeff Smith graphic novel Bone and Sleeping Beauty crossovers with 26 year old princess Little Tamar.

I thought it sounded a bit weird at first but now I know how to pronounce it, it has grown on me. I do my ancestry and have happened upon this name several times during name searches. It was actually quite common in the 1800s in Durham and Yorkshire. It's an unusual name- which I like- I hate common names or ones that are in fashion- my own son is named Conan, and I have never had to use his surname at school when looking for him. Better a unique name especially in ancestry!

My name is Tamar. It is pronounced tuh-mar. A lot of people pronounce it as Tamra, Tay-mar, etc. It gets annoying because I think it's pretty easy and self explanatory when you look at it. It sounds exactly like it looks. I have to constantly correct people on my name but I'd rather have a different name than a super popular one. I've grown to like it and hope to pass it down to my next daughter one day.

In response to those who think of the biblical origins of Tamar as tragic, I must disagree. While the first Tamar was put in a bad situation by the men in her life, she took matters into her own hands and fixed it. I find it to be a story of a strong woman standing up for herself and her rights. As for the second Tamar, as someone already noted, she would have been a direct descendant of the first one, so it would have been normal for her to have been named after her. (Anyone else have a middle or first name after family?)

Well, my name is Tamar but it's spelled TaMar (like Tae Mahr) but my first name is Joy TaMar, it is different and I love it. There were two women in the Bible named Tamar (Thamar). The first was the mother of Judah's twin sons Pharez and Zarah (Jesus Christ is from the line of Pharez). She's one of the only women mentioned in the lineage of Jesus. She was widowed by her father in law's sons (Judah), dressed up like a harlot and became pregnant by him and gave him two sons (Pharez and Zarah (Genesis 38)). The second was Tamar, who was a princess and one of David's daughters. (I think she was probably named after her ancestor Tamar :) This was the one who was raped by her half brother Amnon. (2 Samuel 13) I used to think this name had a bad rep because of what happened to both of these women. But this is the name I have and I think it's beautiful and I've come to realize that even though I share their name I don't share their tragedies. The only problem is that people can't pronounce it right some say Tamar like (TuhMahr) and that's annoying. My name has a long "a" so it sounds short. Nevertheless, I love my name and I wouldn't change it for anything in the world.

My name -Tamia- is basically Tamar translated to English, although not a direct translation. Either way, I would much rather having Tamar as a name, it's so beautiful!

This name is beautiful (in my opinion, much better than Tamara), but I could never name my child this simply because of the biblical story. She was raped by her half-brother (I think his name was Amnon?), and because of that she was no longer a virgin, and no longer able to marry. She wound up living a rather desolate life with her other brother, and that one tragedy--which was NOT her fault--wound up ruling her entire life.
It's entirely too depressing a story for me to name my daughter this, despite the beauty of the name.

I find myself liking this name, for some strange reason. When I first saw it, I was like, "Tamar? No. Wait, actually, that doesn't sound bad at all. I like this name!" Yeah, I'm weird and blonde like that. Wait, I'm brunette.

The river-name Tamar is ancient Celtic, possibly meaning 'the dark one' or simply 'the river'. There are several other British rivers whose names have the same root-meaning; the Thames (Latin Tamesis) in London, the Team in County Durham, the Thame in Buckingham/Oxfordshire, and finally the Tame, of which there are three, in Warwickshire/Staffordshire, Yorkshire/Cheshire and North Yorkshire.
