From Aramaic שָׁמִירָא (šāmīrā) / ܫܡܝܪܐ (šāmīrā, “emery, adamant”), having the usual KāLūM measure of Aramaisms, as **سَامِير (**sāmīr) would be much more unfamiliar a form, while س (s) instead of ش (š) mimicks as usual the correspondence of words inheriting Proto-Semitic *š.
Itself the Aramaic is deemed to be from Hebrew שָׁמִיר (šāmī́r, “emery, corundum, adamant”), which is possibly related to Akkadian 𒉌𒌓𒌑 (NA₄U2 /šammu/, “emery, corundum, adamant”), as well as to Egyptian jsmr, smr (“emery”), Ancient Greek σμύρις (smúris, “emery”), Old Armenian զմռնիտեան քար (zmṙnitean kʻar, “emery”), Semitic borrowings.
