Samentha Origin and Meaning

The name Samentha is a girl's name.

Samentha is an uncommon variant spelling of Samantha, a feminine name that gained popularity in the United States during the 18th century. While the traditional Samantha is believed to have been created as a feminization of Samuel (Hebrew for 'name of God' or 'God has heard'), this particular spelling variation offers a distinctive touch. The alteration of 'a' to 'e' in the middle syllable creates a unique visual presentation while maintaining the familiar pronunciation. Samentha emerged during the late 20th century trend of creative name spellings, appealing to parents seeking individuality while keeping connections to more traditional naming conventions. Though rare, it retains the warm, friendly qualities associated with Samantha.
