Samira (In Arabic سميرا Template:ArabDIN; also Sameera) is a traditional feminine Arabic name. It is the feminine form of Samir, meaning "friend of the night" (most common), or "morning star" (high arabic), or "human of the night".

The orignal name was Semiramis, the ancient queen with her hanging gardens. Less commonly, Samira is also a Hindu name, derived from the Sanskrit word meaning "gust of wind", or "cool breeze". This too, has the masculine variant of "Samir", which means "the beautiful", or "night talker".
