Japanese warrior or military nobility
A modern phonetic variation of the Japanese word 'samurai', referring to the hereditary military nobility and officer caste of medieval and early-modern Japan. While not a traditional Japanese given name, it has emerged in the United States as a bold, occupational-style name. It evokes the bushido code of honor, discipline, and bravery.
