Around the globe, Самарий (Samariy 
, Samary 
, Самарий 
) is quite a rare unisex forename. The first name Самарий is habitual in Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly Puerto Rico, where it is quite a rare female name, the Dominican Republic, where it is a rare girly name, and Nicaragua. Not in comparison with a country's population, the name is most common in India, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Puerto Rico. Much less frequently, Самарий is the last name as well as the forename.
