Origin and etymology of the name

Scholarly onomastic and linguistic analysis
Linguistic explanation and meaning

A Hebrew biblical name interpreted as "little sun" or "sun child".

Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza z hebrejského Šimšón (שִׁמְשׁוֹן), ktoré sa zvyčajne spája s apelatívom šemeš (שֶׁמֶשׁ – slnko). Prípona mena sa vykladá ako zdrobňujúca alebo vzťahová, preto sa jeho význam interpretuje ako „malé slnko“ či „slnečný“. V biblickej tradícii bol Samson izraelským sudcom známym mimoriadnou telesnou silou.
