Itamar is Hebrew in Origin.
Itamar is a Hebrew masculine name (אִיתָמָר) meaning "island of palms" or "date-palm isle," from Hebrew i ("island") + tamar ("date palm"). Standard modern Israeli spelling is Itamar, while the traditional biblical transliteration is Ithamar; rare forms include Ittamar. The name appears across languages with minimal change, especially in Portuguese and Spanish usage, where Itamar is kept as is.
In the Hebrew Bible, Ithamar is the youngest son of Aaron and served as a priest who supervised the Tabernacle's accounts; a later priestly line is traced through him. The name remained in liturgical memory and was revived with the modern rebirth of Hebrew, becoming steadily popular in Israel from the late 20th century. Contemporary nicknames include Iti; related but distinct is Tamar. A feminine adaptation, Itamara, occurs occasionally in Romance-language contexts. Connotations include vitality and uprightness symbolized by the palm.
