The Biblical Era
The name "Shemer" is derived of the verb "לשמור" (lishmor, "keep", "guard", "protect").
There are several people in the Bible called "Shemer". One of them was the owner of the hill of Samaria, before Omri, the king of Israel, bought it from him.
"And he bought the hill Samaria of Shemer for two talents of silver, and built on the hill, and called the name of the city which he built, after the name of Shemer, owner of the hill, Samaria." 1 Kings 16, 24
