Etymology

[edit]

From Proto-Tungusic *samān (shaman), compare Nanai сама̄н (samān) and Manchu ᠰᠠᠮᠠᠨ (saman) etc. Probably from Sanskrit श्रमण (śramaṇa, ascetic, monk, Sramana) or Pali samaṇa, likely via Middle Chinese 沙門 (shāmén).

An alternative theory derives the Proto-Tungusic word from an ancestor of Nivkh чам (ț’am, eagle, shaman), but the direction of the borrowing is usually taken to be the reverse.
