Comments (Meaning / History Only)
My name is Tamera and I remember when people use to mistake my name for Tamara but it is a very intelligent name. I have learned a few things about it and it's special. My name is based off a knight, a person from a long long time ago but because my name is different from this I'm sure that people will still think it's great too. Tamara and Tamera are equal and both different, they each have a meaning and a purpose.

Tamara does not mean 'spice' but 'tin', in Sanskrit.
There is another word, Tāmara (long a), listed in the Monier-Williams dictionary as meaning 'water' or 'ghee', but it is from a very in-credible source (it only shows up on one document which collects rare or unusual words).
However, Tāmara (again, long a) is also a word in the Dravidian languages of South Indian, where it has the more poetic meaning of 'lotus'.

Tamara is actually a Hebrew name. As a user mentioned above it can mean "palm tree" or "bitterness." And it is also a form of 'Tamar', which is Biblical for "palm tree" and/or "spice."

I've also known this name to be of Hebrew origin, meaning "palm tree" or "date palm".
