Samaira meaning
Samaira (समायरा) is a Hindu girl's name.
Meaning today
Enchanting, protected by god
In the dictionaries
The name isn't in the classical dictionaries we use, so it is most likely a modern name. The meaning above is how families commonly use it.
Samaira (समायरा) is a modern girls' name whose origin is unclear. It has no entry in the Sanskrit dictionaries of Monier-Williams or Apte, and name sites contradict each other: some call it Sanskrit for "enchanting" or "protected by God", others treat it as a form of the Arabic name Samira ("companion in evening conversation") or of Samara. None of these explanations could be confirmed for Samaira itself, so we present it as a modern name chosen for its sound, with the meaning families give it. It is used by Hindu families and also by some Muslim families.
