Breton Names that Start With S

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.

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.

Wherever she came from, Senara is that rarest of names: lovely, straightforward, and unusual all at the same time.  Since it may be related to Helen or Eleanor, it can be used as an honorific for one of those names -- though grandma Helen may understandably think it's a stretch.
