Detailed Slovak etymology analysis
Soma je maďarské mužské meno vytvorené v období jazykového obrodenia z maďarského apelatíva som „drieň“. Vzniklo ako pomaďarčený náprotivok mena Kornél na základe dobovej, dnes neistej etymologickej súvislosti latinského mena Cornelius so slovom cornus „drieň“. Neskôr sa používalo aj ako náhrada mien Samu a Sámuel, nejde však o samostatný hebrejský pôvod mena.
