Samet is Turkish in Origin.
Samet is a Turkish male name derived from Arabic Ṣamad (الصمد), one of the 99 Names of God in Islam, meaning "the Eternal," "the Self-sufficient," or "the One on whom all depend." In Turkish phonology the final -d shifts to -t, yielding Samet (sa-MET); related forms include Samed and Samad. The underlying Semitic root ṣ-m-d conveys steadfastness and the state of being turned to for help.
The name spread through Ottoman influence and remains common in Turkey and among Muslim communities in the Balkans. In Azerbaijani it appears as Səməd (Samed), famously borne by the poet Səməd Vurğun; Persian, Urdu, and Arabic use Samad, often in the theophoric compound Abd al-Samad (also spelled Abdul Samad) meaning "servant of the Eternal." Contemporary use of Samet in Turkey has been steady since the late 20th century. Variants: Samet, Samed, Samad, Səməd; feminine equivalents are rare.
