Sami is a gender-neutral name steeped in Finnish, Hebrew, and Arabic origins. Since the name means "sublime," "elevated," and “supreme” in Arabic, baby is bound to live life in the lap of luxury. In Finnish, Sami is a diminutive of the Hebrew name Samuel, which signifies “name of God” or “God has heard.” When chosen as a shortened version of Samantha, the meaning “flower” is added for your little petal. Also spelled as Samee and Samy, Sami is short, sweet, and flows off the tongue. This lyrical appellation exists as a first name, last name, and nickname across the globe, making it an affable name not many will mispronounce. Sami is adorable yet refined and will age well with baby as they blossom.
