Samir (also spelled Sameer) (see Samīr in Sanskrit) is a male name found commonly in South Asia, the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe. In Arabic, Samir (سمير) means "holy", "jovial", "loyal" or "charming". In Albanian, it translates literally as "so good" but the connotation is closer to "exquisite", "superb" or "perfect". Samira is the feminine spelling, also found in both languages.
