Samiran meaning

Samiran (समीरण) is a Hindu boy's name of Sanskrit origin (Bengali usage).

Breeze, wind, air, breath; also the god of wind

Samiran (समीरण) is Sanskrit samīraṇa, from the verb sam-īr, "to set in motion". Monier-Williams gives it as a breeze, wind, air or breath, and as the god of wind himself; it can also mean the vital airs of the body. Name lists give "breeze" or "gentle wind", which match the dictionary. It comes from the same root as samīra, the source of the Hindu name Sameer, though Sameer is also an unrelated Arabic name. Samiran is a Bengali name, pronounced SHO-mee-ron.
