Sami

Sami is an Arabic origin name mostly given to boys. The meaning of Sami is ‘the all hearing,’ ‘keen listener', 'one who hears or has a sharp hearing'. According to Islam, As-Sami/Al-Sami are the names of All Mighty Allah, whereby it is believed that Allah is the one who is all hearer and the responder. The name As-Sami cannot be used in its original state due to the Islamic belief that God is one, and thereby no human being can be equated with him. That is the Reason a prefix like ‘Abd,’ that is, Abdul Sami meaning The salve of The All listener, or the suffix like ‘Ullah,’ i.e., Samiullah meaning All hearer of God, is used. The name has its female version too, known as Samiya in Arabic, meaning ‘the one who listens'. Sami is also used in different parts of the world but with different meanings, origins, and pronunciations. In the English version, it is used as Sammy, Samuel, or Samantha. The name Sami is also often confused with the other Arabic name Samee meaning ‘to Hear.’ Sami is a very popular name in the Arabian as well as in the Scandinavian country. Sami is also an ancient city in Greece. The name is also used as the name of places in India, Estonia, Gambia and Myanmar.
