Samar has two documented, separate language connections. In Sanskrit and Hindi, it means ‘battle’ or ‘conflict’, with the Hindi entry recording a male given name. In Arabic, the name is associated with conversation at night and is recorded as feminine. The shared Roman spelling does not unite these origins. The intended language therefore matters both for explaining the meaning and for understanding the naming context, without imposing one tradition's usage on another.

Spelling and pronunciation
समर in Hindi is read sa-mar, in two syllables with short vowels. Arabic سَمَر has a similar Roman rendering, Samar. The r may be tapped. Samer also appears in Arabic naming contexts, but should not automatically be treated as an identical form when comparing pronunciation and derivation.
Also spelled Samer.
