History & Origin

Simaya is a modern American coinage. It chimes with Amaya and with Samaya (Sanskrit, 'time; agreement'), and faintly with Arabic sima, 'mark, distinguishing feature'. All of those are echoes in sound, not documented routes — Simaya has no etymology on record, and we call the routes uncertain (said 'sih-MY-uh').

It appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, soft, and modern.

Did you know? Simaya sits near Samaya, a Sanskrit word for 'time', and near Amaya — but resemblance is not descent, and its own routes are uncertain, which we note.
