Samyaza is a fallen angel of apocryphal Jewish and Christian tradition that ranked in the heavenly hierarchy as one of the Grigori (meaning “Watchers” in Greek). The name ‘Shemyaza[z]’ means ‘infamous rebellion’, the combination of ‘shem’ [meaning ‘name’ or ‘fame’ {whether positive or negative}] + ‘azaz’ [which means ‘rebellion’ or ‘arrogance’ as a negative particle].
