Tiamat echoes through the caverns of Semitic mythology like the resounding waves of a primordial sea. Her name carries the weight of ancient tales -- Tiamat's role in the divine pantheon adds a layer of complexity to her character. Those teal letters conjure images of vast, undulating waters, teeming with chaotic potential. Her mythic narrative, in which she gives birth to the first gods only to face her great-grandson in a cosmic clash, is a testament to the cyclical nature of creation and destruction. The momentous defeat, the splitting of her form and the use of her body to shape the earth and the sky create a fascinating story for the origin of the world. The name is an evocative symbol of the boundless unknown, beckoning one to ponder the difference between chaos and order, as well as creation and dissolution, encapsulated in her very existence. Tiamat stands as a mythical matriarch, her name a powerful invocation that resonates with the very elements from which the world emerged... astonishing!
The Hebrew pronunciation of this name is tee-a-MAT.

Current description is incorrect. Tiamat does not mean 'sea', but has merely been linked to it. To give a short definition, Tiamat means 'creator/mother/mother earth'.
I like the sound and meaning of this name, but many people may mispronounce it. There is also an array of potential nicknames. Off the top of my head, I can think of Mattie and Ti.
