In Sanskrit, Sameera or Samira (Sanskrit: समीरः, romanized: samīraḥ) is a feminine given-name, meaning "breeze, wind," or "Vāyu, the wind deity". Many anglicize their name to Samīr or Sameer. In Arabic, the feminine name is derived from the root s-m-r ("to spend the night in talking"), ultimately meaning "night-companion", "entertaining companion", "the one with lively conversation".
