Samina is a name of Arabic origin, meaning "precious" or "valuable," and is also a feminine form of the name Sameen. It is popular across South Asia and the Middle East. A notable bearer is Samina Peerzada, a renowned Pakistani actress, director, and producer who has been a major figure in the country's film and television industry. The name shares its root with the word "saman," meaning "wealth" or "treasure" in Persian. An interesting correlation is that Samina is also the name of a small village in Slovenia, though it is not directly linked to the name's etymology. In Scotland, it remains an uncommon but lovely choice for parents seeking a name with a global, melodic feel.
