Shamara
Meaning of Shamara
Shamara is a warm embrace and a promise rolled into one word. Its roots reach back to the Hebrew verb shamar, meaning “to guard.” It sings with a gentle Gaelic lilt in Irish (SHAH-mah-ruh) and flows with a smooth English rhythm (shuh-MAHR-uh). At the same time, it echoes the Sanskrit amar, “immortal,” adding an Indian flair that feels both ancient and alive. Shamara sparkles like a mango lassi on a summer evening—no blender needed. Parents have cheered its protective spirit since the ’70s. They watched it dance in and out of the US top 1,000 names. Most recently, it landed at #953 in 2023. It’s a joyful choice for any family dreaming big.
