Watchman or guardian; person from Samaria
Samari is often interpreted as a modern variation of the biblical name Samaria, referring to the ancient city and region. In Hebrew contexts, it relates to the root 'shamar', meaning to watch, guard, or preserve. It has gained contemporary use as a rhythmic, gender-neutral choice in the United States.
