Samir (also spelled Sameer) is a male name found commonly in the Middle East, Central Asia and Europe. In Arabic, Samir (سمير) means "holy", "jovial", "loyal" or "charming". In Albanian, it translates literally as "so good" but the connotation is closer to "exquisite", "superb" or "perfect". Samira is the feminine spelling, also found in both languages.
