Watchtower or guardian
A rare name likely derived from the biblical place name Samaria, which itself comes from the Hebrew word 'Shomeron' meaning 'watchtower' or 'lookout'. It may also be used as a modern elaboration of Samantha or Samara. In a contemporary context, it is often chosen for its melodic sound and unique flair.
