• Meaning: hot month

• Tammuz is the name of a month in the Jewish calendar that falls in the heat of summer, roughly overlapping with late June and July. In Jewish tradition, it is a period that carries both intensity and reflection, marking the beginning of a solemn three-week period. As a baby name, Tammuz captures the warmth and vitality of midsummer while connecting a child to the rhythms of the Jewish year.

  For parents who love calendar-inspired names but find June and August too expected, this one is a real head-turner. Its unusual sound and deep cultural specificity make it a conversation piece that only gets more interesting the more you learn. A name that celebrates the height of summer and Jewish time-keeping in one bold, fearless package.
