Samera

Meaning of Samera

Samera is a feminine name of Arabic origin, derived from the noun samīrah (“night companion”) and ultimately from the root s-m-ʿ, which denotes convivial evening conversation. In English it is pronounced /səˈmɛrə/, featuring an initial unstressed schwa, a stressed open-mid vowel on the second syllable, and a final schwa. U.S. registration data from 1975 through 2024 show Samera as a decidedly rare choice—just 5 to 30 annual occurrences, with popularity ranks oscillating between roughly 750th and 970th—underscoring its appeal to parents seeking distinctiveness over trendiness. Semantically, Samera evokes sociability paired with introspection, offering a linguistically clear yet culturally resonant option within the Anglo-American naming repertoire.
