From Sanskrit Partha (पार्थ), 'son of Pritha (Kunti)', a well-known epithet of the hero Arjuna in the Mahabharata. It is a patronymic rather than a quality-word.
From the Sanskrit समर (samara), 'war, battle, conflict'. A genuine classical word (as in the treatise Samarangana-Sutradhara). Note: an identical-looking Arabic name Samar ('evening conversation') exists and is unrelated; this entry reflects the Sanskrit source.
Parth and Samar are given to a similar number of US babies today.
Parth means Son of Pritha (Arjuna) (sanskrit origin), while Samar means Battle, war (sanskrit origin).
