Samael

Samael is a name known from Jewish religious literature, where it designates an angelic or demonic figure associated with accusation, temptation, and death. It therefore carries strong religious and mythological associations that are good to know when choosing a name. These traditional connections do not say anything about the child's personality.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno sa zapisuje hebrejsky סמאל. Tradičný výklad spája sam „jed“ s el „Boh“, pôvodná etymológia však nie je jednoznačne určená. Odborná literatúra uvádza aj výklad súvisiaci so slepotou. Jednotlivé interpretácie odrážajú rozdielne náboženské tradície.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a tradícia: Jewish Encyclopedia, Samael a Encyclopaedia Judaica, Samael. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou vzoru chlap podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, nie citáciou osobitného hesla Samael. Zahraničné podoby označujú predovšetkým náboženskú postavu; nepotvrdzujú úradné uznanie rodného mena. Maďarská podoba: Tótfalusi István, Bibliai személyek lexikona. Ustálené slovenské domácke tvary sa nepodarilo overiť, preto pole zdrobnenín zostáva prázdne. Spracovanie mena v monografii Milana Majtána nebolo overené.
