"سمندر" meaning in Persian

See سمندر in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

IPA: [sa.man.ˈdaɾ] [Classical-Persian], [sä.män̪.d̪ǽɾ] [Dari, formal], [sä.män̪.d̪ǽɾ] [Dari, formal], [sä.män̪.d̪ǽɾ] [Kabuli], [sä.män̪.d̪ǽɾ] (note: Hazaragi), [sæ.mæn̪.d̪ǽɹ] [Iran, formal], [sä.män̪.d̪ǽɾ] [Tajik, formal] Forms: سَمَنْدَر [canonical], samandar [romanization]
Etymology: Long considered a compound from سام (sâm, “fire, flame”), and اندر (andar, “inside”) by most Persian dictionaries. This would be etymologically correct because a synonym of salamander in Persian is آذرشین (âzaršin, literally “fire-sitter”) and this animal has been long featured in Persian mythology and Persian literature. However, Dehkhoda rejects this derivation, and contends that it is folk etymology; as سمندر (samandar), is most likely from Ancient Greek σαλαμάνδρα (salamándra). But the origin of the Greek term is uncertain and there is a small possibility that it is from Persian.
