I am quick failing this nomination. Review of this version.

Prose: I believe this needs another copy edit. Examples:

• Incomplete sentence in the lead: "In the Arabic from the singular form Tamra (Arabic: تَمْرَة tamrah) and the plural form Tamar (Arabic: تَمْر tamr).").
• First sentence in etymology is a run-on.
• The part after the colon is a non-sequitur: "As of 2023, the name Tamara is fairly uncommon in the United States: in 2010, the name fell off the Top 1,000 Social Security Administration baby names list, with fewer than 250 baby girls named Tamara that year."

I would recommend copy-editing the article yourself and then requesting a copy-edit from WP:GOCER (after fixing sourcing and other issues).

Sourcing (2b):

• The notable people and fictional character sections require citations for each of the entries.
• Ref 2: The Bump (editorial process page) appears to be unreliable because its articles "are carefully edited and then top edited by senior staff editors to make sure the content reflects today’s leading advice as well as The Bump voice and brand stances" (emphasis added).
• Ref 8: Behind the Name (about page) appears to be an WP:SPS because it is maintained by its owner and unnamed volunteer reviewers who "are long-time users of th[e] site [and] who are knowledgeable about names".
• Ref 13: http://www.babynameshub.com/baby-names-girls/Tamara.html doesn't exist.

Copy-vio (2d): The sentence "Tamara also has Spanish roots, meaning brushwood, and Sanskrit roots, meaning water." is copied from the reference it cites: "Tamara can also have Spanish roots, meaning 'brushwood', and Sanskrit roots, meaning 'water'."
