Reply to: What does my name mean? by Samara
There are lots of theories behind the name Samara, and it may well have multiple origins. Here are the ones I know of:

* It may be a Hebrew name derived from shamar "protect"
* It can be the feminine form of Arabic Samar "intimate night talk"
* It could refer to Samara, the name of a city in south European Russia
* It could derive from the Biblical placename Samaria
