sam is a prefix which is cognate with the English same and means something like together or union. yuj is the root to join, cognate with English yoke. saMyuktA is the feminine past participle form, meaning united (or married or fixed or complex number or ...) It is an ancient word, and an old name. Quite common in the east of India, where it is pronounced sanjuktA where the n is the soft palatal n (somewhat like spanish gn), for example, it is the name of the most famous dancer of a particular Indian dance form.
