'''Samir''' (variantly spelled '''Sameer''') is a male name found commonly in the Indian subcontinent, Middle East, Central Asia and Europe. In Arabic, Samir ({{lang|ar|سمير}}) means holy, jovial, loyal or charming companion. In Indian languages it is derived from the Sanskrit word Samir ({{lang|sa|समीर}}) meaning gust of wind or gentle breeze. '''Samira''' is the feminine spelling, also found in both languages. <br />
