Samaria or Shomron, was a city in ancient Israel. It comes from Hebrew meaning "watch tower." The name Samaria is still used to designate the mountainous region around what was the city. Samaria
The name of a city in Biblical times. I combines the prefix Sam, which is so popular, and Aria, which means melody. I think it nicely combines an overused name (Samantha) with a beautiful, meaningful name. I prefer the pronunciation sum-ARE-ee-uh. Nicknames could be Sam, Aria, Ari, or Ria.
