Help[Facts] Samantha
This seems like a 20th century name to me: does anyone know if it was used any earlier?
Also, if you click on Samantha you get: Perhaps intended to be a feminine form of SAMUEL, using the popular name suffix -antha.
Are there any other names, that I must have missed, using the popular suffix -antha? Anthea, yes (though not a suffix) - but apart from a very ghastly movie I saw long ago that was a GWTW spinoff and had a heroine called Amantha, I've never encountered it.
And, are there any other fem forms of Samuel? Would it be possible to feminise it in Hebrew?
Thanks!
