Meaning and origin of Samaneh
Samaneh is a Persian girl's name taken from the word for a small bird, usually identified as the quail. Families who choose the name are drawn to its image of a small, gentle and delicate bird. Because dictionaries and families sometimes describe it more loosely as a little songbird, the most accurate description is a small bird, generally given as the quail. The name has a soft sound that many Iranian parents find appealing.
Samaneh became especially popular in Iran in the 1980s and 1990s, and many Iranian women born in those decades carry it. It is written سمانه in Persian script, and the final -eh reflects the Persian pronunciation of the ending, which is why it is also spelled Samane. It is pronounced sah-maa-NEH. The name is used mainly in Iran, among Iranians abroad, and to some extent in Afghanistan. It is a Persian rather than Arabic name and is not connected with the similar-sounding Arabic word samāʾ, sky.
