Samira (سميرة) is the feminine of Samir — from the Arabic samar ("evening conversation, storytelling under the moon") — the companion who entertains with stories in the evening. One of the most-popular Arabic-origin girls' names worldwide. The name appears across the entire Muslim world from Morocco to Indonesia.
Samira does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Samira reduce to 7, The Seeker. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
