What does Tamir mean?
Tamir means “Tall in Hebrew; date-related in Arabic”.
Tamir has distinct Hebrew and Arabic histories. In Hebrew it means tall. The Arabic name is connected with tamr, the word for dates, and is commonly interpreted as someone who has or supplies dates. Although the two names share a Latin-alphabet spelling, they should not be combined into a single Hebrew meaning about owning palm trees.
Tamer is another spelling of the Arabic form. The different original scripts help distinguish the two traditions when a family knows the written name it wishes to preserve. A Hebrew-speaking family and an Arabic-speaking family may therefore choose Tamir for different reasons, with differences in pronunciation as well as meaning.
