Samsó Origin and Meaning

The name Samsó is a boy's name of Basque origin.

Samsó is a distinctive masculine name with Catalan origins, primarily found in northeastern Spain and parts of France near the Pyrenees mountains. It corresponds to the biblical name Samson, which derives from Hebrew and means "sun child" or "like the sun." In biblical tradition, Samson was known for his extraordinary strength. The Catalan version features an acute accent on the final letter, indicating stress on the last syllable (sam-SOH). While uncommon outside Catalan-speaking regions, Samsó carries the historical and biblical gravitas of its origin while offering a melodic Mediterranean sound. The name combines ancient heritage with a distinctive regional character.
