Name meaning and origin
Samih derives from the Arabic root samaha (generosity, indulgence) and denotes a person who behaves generously and forgivingly toward others. Widely used in Turkish to this day, the name entered Azerbaijani through Arabic-Turkic ties.
The name of Samih bey, a descendant of the late-19th-century Caucasian sheikh al-Islam, is recorded in Azerbaijani history; his son Məmmədsadıq Samih oğlu Axundzadə (Aran) became deputy interior minister of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic. This shows that the name was genuinely used in Azerbaijan historically, and today it is among the rarely chosen names.
