Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Pôvod osobného mena Samara nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Uvádza sa možné odvodenie od miestnych názvov Samara alebo Samarra, prípadne od botanického označenia samara pre krídlatý plod. Ide o hypotézy, nie o preukázanú etymológiu. Hebrejský pôvod ani význam „Bohom chránená“ nemožno na základe overených podkladov potvrdiť.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymologická neistota a doložené používanie: Behind the Name – Samara. Slovenské pádové tvary sú odvodené podľa vzoru žena: Pravidlá slovenského pravopisu, JÚĽŠ SAV. Konkrétne heslo Samara v publikácii Milana Majtána sa nepodarilo overiť, preto jej tento výklad nepripisujeme. Domácke tvary sú slovotvorné návrhy, nie doložený zoznam obľúbených oslovení. Medzinárodné položky zachovávajú pôvodný zápis; nepredstavujú potvrdenie ustálených domácich ekvivalentov ani úradnej prípustnosti v jednotlivých krajinách.
