Samarie
s(a)-ma-rie
US Popularity:28429
Origin:Hebrew
Meaning:Watch tower; Wing-shaped fruit
Samarie is a feminine name for the little one you'll teach to look upon the world with excitement and curiosity. A respelling of Samari, Samarie may find its roots in the biblical place name Samaria, which once described the original seat of power in the kingdom of Israel. The name itself derives from shamar, a Hebrew verb meaning "to watch" or "to guard." From this verb, Samarie and Samaria gain the translation of "watch tower," perhaps representing the moments of growth, change, and beauty your child will see in nature and their own story. Though they may have a lot of questions about the hows, whys, and whens, your Samarie will learn to trust that everything happens in perfect timing. This moniker could also come from "samara," the title given to the wing-shaped fruit produced by several flowering plants. Every time you and sweet Samarie notice a new plant arising from the soil or a new color in a tree's leaves, you can remind them that, just like them, nature is always changing.
