Coast-of-the-Palm
| Root | אי / תמר (ʾ-y / t-m-r) |
| Core Meanings | coast, island, region; palm tree, date palm |
| Semantic Range | Proper name derived from geographic and botanical imagery; literally evokes a coastal region marked by palms. |
| Conceptual Significance | Ithamar is a son of Aaron and ancestor of a priestly line in Israel. His name, evoking a fertile coastal landscape, reflects the Hebrew practice of embedding natural and territorial imagery within personal names, linking identity to land and blessing. |
| Morphological Notes | Masculine singular proper noun; personal name of a male individual (son of Aaron). No inflectional endings beyond standard proper noun form. |
| Rendering Rationale | The name combines אִי (coast, island) and תָּמָר (palm tree), yielding the compound sense "Coast-of-the-Palm." As a masculine singular proper noun (HNp), the rendering preserves its status as a personal male name while transparently reflecting its lexical components. |
