Sami or Sammy ((アラビア語:سامي), , ) is a given name and surname of different origins and meanings, most prevalent in the Arab world and Scandinavia. When spelled in English, it can be spelled as ''Sammy'' and often mistakenly confused as the abbreviated English name Sammy. Sami or Sammy can be an Arabic name meaning "elevated" (الرفعة) or "sublime" (السُّمُوّ),〔(Behind the Name: Meaning, Origin and History of the Name Sami )〕 or a Turkish name, a Finnish male name derived from Samuel, or an American name abbreviated from Samantha or Samuel. When used outside of English speaking countries – specifically amongst non-native Arabic speakers – the name Sammy or Sami is mistakenly confused with Samee (Arabic for 'one who hears') or ''Samir'' (another Arabic name altogether). However, it is in fact an unabbreviated Arabic name derived from the verb ''saamaa'' (ساما) and ''yasmo'' (يسمو) which means to transcend. This is from the root ''samaa'' (سما,سمو) which means to be high, elevated, eminent, prominent.〔Hans Wehr 4th ed., page 503〕 The feminine version of this name in Arabic is Samiya or Samia (سامِيَة). ==Given name== *Sami Aslam (born 1995), Pakistani cricketer *Bekir Sami Kunduh (1867–1933), the first Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey *Sami Allagui (born 1986), German-born Tunisian footballer *Sami Bayraktar (born 1978), Turkish-Belgian futsal player *Sami Bouajila (born 1966), French actor *Sami Callihan (born 1987), American wrestler using the ring name ''Solomon Crowe'' *Sami Güçlü (born 1950), Turkish politician *Sami Ibrahim Haddad (1890–1957), Lebanese physician and writer *Sami Hyypiä (born 1973), Finnish footballer *Sami al-Hinnawi (1898–1950), Syrian politician and military officer *Sami Al-Jaber (born 1972), Saudi Arabian retired footballer *Sami Jauhojärvi (born 1981), Finnish cross-country skier *Sami Kapanen (born 1973), Finnish ice hockey player *Sami Kehela (born 1934), Canadian contract bridge player *Sami Khedira (born 1987), German footballer *Sami Levi (born 1981), Turkish singer *Sami Mahlio (born 1972), Finnish footballer *Sami Mansei (fl. 720), Japanese Buddhist priest and poet *Sami Michael (born 1926), Israeli author and president of The Association for Civil Rights in Israel *Sami Moubayed (born 1978), Syrian historian *Sami Osmakac, convicted Kosovar-American terrorist *Sami Rähmönen (born 1987), Finnish footballer *Sami Ristilä (born 1974), Finnish footballer *Sami Sirviö (born 1970), Swedish musician and lead guitarist of the rock band Kent *Sami as-Solh (1887–1968), five-time Prime Minister of Lebanon *Sami Uotila (disambiguation), various Finnish people *Sami Yli-Sirniö (born 1972), Finnish guitarist for the thrash metal band Kreator *Sami Yusuf (born 1980), British musician *Sam Lake (real name Sami Järvi, born 1970), Finnish writer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sami (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
