Smantha Origin and Meaning
The name Smantha is a girl's name.
Smantha appears to be a variant spelling or possibly a typographical deviation of the classic name Samantha. The traditional name Samantha has Hebrew origins, meaning 'listener' or 'heard by God.' This unusual spelling without the initial 'a' is extremely rare and may have emerged as a unique adaptation by parents seeking distinctiveness. Samantha itself became widely popular in the United States during the 1960s and peaked in the 1990s, partly due to the character Samantha Stephens from the television show 'Bewitched.' While the standard Samantha conveys femininity with strength and intelligence, this unconventional spelling might create pronunciation questions while offering a truly distinctive identity document for a child.
