Shomre is Hebrew in Origin.

Shomre is a rare Hebrew given name from the Semitic root sh-m-r, “to guard/keep/observe.” It parallels the noun shomer, “guardian, watchman,” and can be understood as “one who keeps” (often in a religious sense). Related forms occur in the Hebrew Bible - especially Shomer as a personal name - and the root pervades liturgy and phrases like shomrei Shabbat (“Sabbath keepers”). As a first name, Shomre is modern and uncommon, chosen for its protective, duty-centered tone.

Variants and cognates include Shomer (m.), Shomri/Shimri (m., “my guard”), and the feminine Shomrit/Shimrit; the construct plural Shomrei appears in Hebrew expressions and is occasionally used as a given name. Family-name usage such as Shomer is also attested. Shomre is distinct from Swahili-influenced Shomari, which has different etymology and meaning.
