Samara

Samara is a name with Hebrew roots, translating to 'under God's rule'. It holds a mystical and somewhat exotic quality, offering a modern alternative to more traditional names like Samantha. While not overly common, it gained some attention from the horror movie character in 'The Ring', creating a bit of an edge. However, outside of Hollywood, it's simply a lovely and serene name. Common nicknames include Sam and Mara, offering versatility. If Samara's charm appeals to you, similar names like Tamara or Amara might also catch your interest.
