I got it from this blog: http://selba.blogspot.com/2005/10/saman-dance.html In the past, Saman dance was normally performed to celebrate noble occasions, as well as to celebrate the birth of Prophet Muhammad. In fact, the name "Saman" came after Syech Saman, a great religious leader in the region. Nowadays, the dance is usually performed at the beginning of importants festivals and gatherings.

There is a recentl popular novel with a title 'Saman' there, and it turned out the title came from the alias of the male character in the novel. Someone sent me a copy two three years ago, but haven't had a chance to read it. I don't know if the word Saman means anything in local Acehnese language. But Aceh was also known as Serambi Mekah or the Veranda of Mecca. Just curious if there is any influence of Persian or Arabic language there. May be some of my Acehnese visitors if any could explain it to you. Also, there is an explanation about Saman Dance and Aceh in general at this site: http://www.asnlf.net/asnlf_int/acheh/art_culture/acheh_art_culture.htm Honestly, I don’t know the meaning but I have friends name Samana too when I grew up.
