Samaree is in Origin.

Samaree is a modern feminine given name likely formed as an English elaboration of Samara with the -ee ending. Samara itself has layered roots: in Hebrew it is linked to shamar, “to guard, keep,” yielding senses like “protected” or “guardian”; in Arabic it connects to samar, “evening conversation,” implying a sociable night companion. The name also echoes the Biblical place-name Samaria and, by association, the botanical samara, the winged seed, suggesting lightness and flight.

Recorded only sporadically in English-speaking birth records since the late 20th century, Samaree fits contemporary American trends of re-spelling and melodious -ee endings. Variants and cognates include Samarie, Samari, Samara, Samera, Samar, and Samaria; related diminutives are Sam, Mara, Mari, or Ree. Parents may appreciate its blended meanings - guardian, watched over, and warm night-time talk - along with its soft, lyrical sound.
