Sameer Mathur

I have come across Taiwanese, Americans, Indians, Iranis, Israelis, with the name SAMEER, directly or indirectly. So I decided to look for it and here is what I found from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page)

First Name : Sameer
Sameer is a name of Sanskrit origin (समीर sameer "gust of wind/a cool gentle breeze on a hot summer day". "Sameer" is also a name from Arabic origin meaning "entertainer". This name is popular amongst Indian Hindus as well as Arab Muslims and Christians.

Last Name : Mathur
According to the Hindu theology Lord Brahma, the Creator, created Lord Chitragupta out of his own body. When Lord Brahma had created all the four Varnas, he thought that there must be someone to keep records and account of each Varna - so he went into deep meditation of the Lord. When this meditation was over, he found standing in front of him a radiant human figure holding a pen and an inkpot in his hands. Thereupon Brahma said, "Thy manifestation has come about through my mind (chitta) and in secret mystical (Gupta) manner, thy name shall be Chitragupta and as thy creation has been from the whole of my body (kaya), therefore thy progeny will be called Kayastha. So ever since then reading and writing has been the hereditary occupation of the Kayasthas, the descendants of Lord Chitragupta, and in all governmental institutions the Kayasthas have held high administrative posts. Mathur's are considered very high end and very intelligent.
