Etymology
[edit]A hydronym, from an older Tamar, attested in Medieval Latin as Tamare and Tamara, attested in Classical Latin as Tamaris, and in Ancient Greek as Ταμάρα (Tamára). From a substrate language, probably from Celtic, from Proto-Indo-European *tm̥Hrós, from *temH- (“dark”); or alternatively from Proto-Celtic *tamo- (compare Welsh tawdd (“melts”))[1] or Proto-Celtic *tā-,[2] *tāyo- (“to melt, flow”), from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (“to melt”),[3] or from Proto-Indo-European *tm̥h₁-ró-, from the zero-grade of Proto-Indo-European *temh₁- (“to cut”).[4] See also English Thames, Tamar and German Zembs.
