Shamarra
Shamarra Origin and Meaning
Shamarra is a modern feminine name that appears to be a creative variant of names like Shamara or Shomara. The name may derive from elements of other established names, possibly incorporating 'sha' (which appears in many contemporary names) with 'mara' (found in names of various origins, including Hebrew where it can mean 'bitter'). Alternative possibilities include influence from the Arabic name Samara or the Sanskrit Samara. Shamarra began appearing in U.S. naming records in the late 20th century, primarily from the 1980s onward, though remains relatively uncommon. The name has a melodious quality with its flowing syllables and has been embraced by families seeking distinctive names with contemporary sounds. As with many modern coined names, its exact etymological roots are difficult to pinpoint with certainty.
