Meaning of a name
I have a very unique name...Samra
I am female, the only reason I am so inquisitive as to any possible meaning of my name..is due to the fact it is so uncommon. Samara is kind of common..as is Tamra...but never Samra. If you would be so kind as to shed some light..that would be wonderful..Thanks! My ethnic backround is Scottish...however I look far more Arabic than Scottish.

Hi Samra,
My name is also Samra :) It is an Arabic name which means "tanned" or "dark skinned". It is uncommon even in the Middle East and is used more as an adjective. Since I am tanned, Arabic speaking people tell me my name suits me very well. I hope I was able to help you!

There's a similar feminine name on page 466 of “The Dictionary of First Names,” by Alfred J. Kolatch (c1980): SAMIRA : "From the Arabic, meaning entertainer."Reg Niles
