Sumera is Arabic in Origin.

Sumera is a feminine given name predominant in South Asian Muslim communities but also found across the Arabic-speaking world. It derives from Arabic roots: as a regional spelling of Samira (سميرة), it carries the sense "companion in evening conversation," from samar, the social night talk; alternatively it reflects Sumayra’ (سُمَيْراء), the diminutive of Samrā’ ("brown, tawny"), yielding the affectionate meaning "little dusky/brown one." Both interpretations are current in Urdu and Persian usage.

The name traveled through Persian into Urdu and Bengali and has seen steady use since the 20th century, especially in Pakistan, India, and the Gulf, with visibility in diaspora communities. Common variants include Sumaira, Sumeira, Sumayra, and Samira/Samirah; related forms are Samra and Sumra. Nicknames such as Sumi or Mira appear. Despite its sound, Sumera is unrelated to English Summer or the ancient region Sumer.
