Where this word comes from

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”)) or Proto-Celtic *tā-, *tāyo- (“to melt, flow”), from Proto-Indo-European *teh₂- (“to melt”), or from Proto-Indo-European *tm̥h₁-ró-, from the zero-grade of Proto-Indo-European *temh₁- (“to cut”).
