Itamar (name)
Itamar (Hebrew: אִיתָמָר), also transcribed to English as Etamar, Isamar or Ithamar, is a Hebrew male given name. It originated with Ithamar, named in the Old Testament of the Bible (the Torah) as the youngest son of Aaron.
The meaning of Itamar (אִיתָמָר) comes from two Hebrew words: "אִי" ("I") means "island" and "תָמָר" ("Tamar") means "date palm". Itamar literally means Date Palm Island.
