Meaning & Story

Samara is a name with multiple origins: in Hebrew it may relate to the watch mountain, in Arabic it means entertained by night conversation, and it is also the name of an ancient city and a type of winged fruit seed. It carries a haunting, beautiful quality.

Samara is a name wrapped in mystery and natural beauty — like the spinning seed that carries it. It suits a pet with a certain haunting quality, one who shows up silently beside you on the couch, who watches you with those unblinking eyes in the middle of the night. Unsettling in the most wonderful way.
