The answer

There is no objection to naming the Qur’an "As-Sami" (the Exalted); for "As-Sami" means loftiness and elevation. Allah Almighty has described the Qur’an within the Qur’an itself with attributes that indicate its high status and elevated standing, among them: {exalted in dignity, full of wisdom} (Az-Zukhruf: 4), and {a Noble Qur’an} (Al-Waqi’ah: 77), and {a Glorious Qur’an} (Al-Buruj: 21). He also described it as "the Magnificent," "the Mighty," "the Light," and others. The multiplicity of the Qur’an’s names indicates its honor and virtue, as Al-Fayruzabadi mentioned in "Basa'ir Dhawi Al-Tamyiz."
