The Name Tamar for a Daughter

AA

Question

Hello... I wanted to ask, please, what is the essence of the name Tamar? What does it indicate? And is it recommended to call a daughter by this name?

Thank you in advance..

Answer

Greetings,

The name Tamar is good and recommended for a daughter, and it is said in Psalms (chapter 92, verse 13), "The righteous will flourish like the palm tree," and it is written in Tractate Ta'anit (folio 25b) that the righteous were compared to a palm tree because it bears fruit, and it follows that the essence of the name indicates bearing fruit, so that, with Hashem's help, that woman who is called by this name will grow and succeed and bear fruit.

With blessings,
Hillel Meirs
