When Tamara Iuzzini was born in 1958, in Montana, United States, her father, James H Porter, was 22 and her mother, Claudette C Skager, was 22. She married Ronald Iuzzini on 14 October 1978, in Clark, Nevada, United States. They were the parents of at least 2 daughters. She lived in Nevada, United States for about 12 years and Las Vegas, Clark, Nevada, United States in 1995. She died in None, Turin, Piedmont, Italy.
probably derived from the Hebrew name Tamar, from a vocabulary word meaning ‘date palm’, with the addition of the feminine suffix -a. The name Tamar is borne in the Bible by two female characters: the daughter-in-law of Judah, who is involved in a somewhat seamy story of sexual intrigue (Genesis 38), and a daughter of King David (2 Samuel 13), the full sister of Absalom, who is raped by her half-brother Amnon, for which Absalom kills him. It is rather surprising, therefore, that it should have given rise to such a popular given name. However, Absalom himself later has a daughter named Tamar, who is referred to as ‘a woman of a fair countenance’ (2 Samuel 14:27), and the name may derive its popularity from this reference. The name is now also used in the English-speaking world.
