Re: Samara
"Samara" is definitely not Hebrew in any sense of the word. "suh-MAR-uh" is Arabic, 100%.It possibly could be a DEGRADED form of "SHEH-MAR-i-yahu" (shehmaryahu) (guarded by God) but you'd have to make the leap and drop the SHIN and the HU, which then fully obliterates the meaning.Regardless, it's a pretty name, just probably not Hebrew.
