Tamar is the name of three women in the Bible and an area of Israel.
- Tamar is the daughter-in-law of Judah, and her name means palm. She was the widow of Er and Onan, Judah's sons. Biblically speaking, she was supposed to marry Shelah, Judah's third son, but Judah forbid the marriage and sent her away. Sometime later, she posed as a harlot and presented herself to Judah. She gave birth to two sons, Pharez and Zarah, from that union. Being the mother of Pharez, Tamar became a part of the lineage of Jesus.
- Tamar is the daughter of David and Maacah, and her brother's name is Absalom. David had another son named Amnon, and his mother was Ahinoam. Amnon was the half-brother of Tamar and Absalom. Amnon loved Tamar so much that he raped her. The violation of Tamar infuriated Absalom, so he began to plot his revenge. A few years later, Absalom had Amnon murdered.
- Tamar is the daughter of Absalom.
- Tamar is also a place that borders the tribe of Gad.
