Samara can be called the City-Sun. The fact is that long ago the Volga River was called Ra. Perhaps this name was invented by the Egyptians, who worshiped the sun god. And now the spilled Volga let go of the influx, which was conceited: "I myself Ra! ". So this word appeared.
And if we turn to more or less reliable sources, then we learn that Samara is dating from the 16th century. In Soviet times, Kuibyshev - today again Samara.
