Atarah is a feminine personal name meaning 'crown,' 'wreath,' or 'garland,' from the root for crowning or adorning. This Atarah was the wife of Jerahmeel of the tribe of Judah, mentioned in the genealogies of 1 Chronicles. She appears as the mother of Onam, part of the Jerahmeelite branch of Judah. The name celebrates beauty and honor, as crowns symbolized royalty, victory, and celebration in ancient Israel. Giving a daughter the name Atarah expressed hope for her honor and dignity. She represents the many women whose names appear briefly in genealogies, their primary biblical mention being as wives and mothers through whom tribal lineages continued.
