Ready for battle; possibly a variant of Samara
The exact origins of Xamara are debated, though it is often cited as a variant of the Spanish name Xiomara, meaning 'ready for battle.' It may also be a creative spelling of Samara, a name with Hebrew and Arabic roots meaning 'protected by God' or 'night talker.' Its use in the United States is rare, appealing to parents seeking a unique 'X' initial.
