Linguistic explanation and meaning

Samantha is a name of uncertain original meaning, popularized from the English-speaking world.

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Ženské meno doložené v anglickom prostredí, ktorého presná etymológia nie je spoľahlivo objasnená. Predpokladá sa súvislosť s menom Samuel a prípadne s gréckym anthos „kvet“, ide však o hypotézu. Významy „poslucháčka“ ani „Boží kvet“ nemožno uvádzať ako overený preklad mena.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Etymológia a medzinárodné podoby: Behind the Name – Samantha. Anglická výslovnosť: Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries. Skloňovanie je aplikáciou vzoru žena podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, nie citáciou osobitného hesla Samantha. Anglický pôvod označuje prostredie používania a šírenia, nie preukázaný etymologický koreň. Domácke tvary sú možné rodinné oslovenia; ich obľúbenosť nie je overená. Konkrétne heslo v publikácii Milana Majtána nebolo priamo overené.
