Breton Names that Start With S

The origins of Senara, the name of a Cornish saint who is patron of the village of Zennor, are not so straightforward. Some say she was the same person as Azenor, a legendary Breton princess whose mother-in-law cast her out to sea in a trunk. Other stories say she was a mermaid turned Christian.

Samzun is a masculine name of uncertain origin, possibly representing a variant spelling of Samson, the biblical figure known for his extraordinary strength. The biblical Samson's name derives from Hebrew roots meaning 'sun' or 'sun child.' Alternatively, Samzun might be a creative modern variation or have origins in specific cultural naming traditions not widely documented. As an extremely rare name, Samzun offers distinctiveness while maintaining a connection to the more familiar Samson. The 'z' gives it a contemporary edge and unique visual character. The name carries connotations of strength from its potential biblical association while establishing its own identity through the unusual spelling pattern.
