Samantha is English in origin, but is used in German as "Samantha." The name apparently originated by taking the nickname Sam (shortened form of Samuel) and adding on a fictitious feminine suffix- Antha, which is hypothesized to be in reference to Anthea, one of the names used by Hera in Greek mythology. If the theory hold true, then, the meaning of the name Samantha is "flower (or bloom) asked of God."
