Sameep meaning

Sameep (समीप) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin.

Near in place or time; nearness, proximity, presence

Also used to mean: close, nearby

Sameep (समीप) is Sanskrit samīpa, "near". Monier-Williams gives the adjective as near in place or time, adjacent, close by or at hand, and the neuter noun as nearness, proximity, vicinity or presence; with different case endings it means towards, from, or in the presence of someone. In Hindi samip is still an ordinary word for near. Name lists give Sameep as "close" or "nearby", which matches the dictionary. It is a short modern given name with a plain, everyday meaning.
