and Coast-of-the-Palm

Rootאי תמר (ʾ-y / t-m-r)
Core Meaningscoast, isle, region; palm tree, date-palm
Semantic RangeProper name of Ithamar, the fourth son of Aaron; carries the literal imagery of a coastal or island region marked by palms.
Conceptual SignificanceIthamar was a son of Aaron and progenitor of a priestly line. Preserving the underlying imagery highlights the Hebrew tendency to embed geographical or natural symbolism within personal names, even for central priestly figures.
Morphological NotesConjunction וְ prefixed to a masculine singular proper noun (Np). No pronominal suffixes; simple waw-conjunctive plus personal name.
Rendering RationaleThe name אִיתָמָר is understood as a compound of אִי (coast, isle) and תָּמָר (palm tree), yielding the sense "Coast-of-the-Palm." The prefixed וְ is the conjunction "and," and the form is a masculine singular proper noun, which this rendering preserves while making the root imagery transparent.
