Help[Facts] Re: Meaning of Tamerin
in reply to a message by Tamerin
It sounds like tamarind, which if you do not know already, is a fruit native to Africa. It is used in a number of different ethnic cuisines. Maybe your name is a version of this word, or from some common root word. It could also be a play on Tamsin, or a combination of Tammy and Erin.
Also, if you google you name on the second page, you will see a little monkey called the Golden Lion Tamerin!

The tamarind is native to Africa *and* Asia . . .
The name is from two Arabic words literally meaning "Indian date". And the South American monkey is a tamarin, not a tamerin.

My family is Danish - my Dad told me that my name goes WAY back in history as a warrior woman. True or not, I'm okay with this!
I'm pretty old, so it's been around a fairly long time anyhow :)
