Somae is in Origin.
Somae is a rare modern given name with several plausible roots. As a contemporary blend, it can join Soma (Sanskrit soma: "moon; sacred elixir," evoking radiance) with Mae (English form of May from the Roman Maia, or a diminutive of Margaret "pearl"). It is also read as a streamlined spelling of Persian/Arabic Somayeh/Sumayyah, an early Islamic name from the root s-m-w meaning "high, exalted."
Usage is recent and sporadic across the globe, often unisex and without fixed cultural ties. Variants and relatives include Somaé, Somai, Somay, Somaya, Somaye, Somayeh, and Sumaya; related elements are Soma and Mae. Parents commonly interpret its sense by blend: "exalted moon," "moon of May," or "pearl of Soma," with short forms So, Soma, or Mae.
