Sammie

Sammie is an English diminutive and pet form of Samuel, a Hebrew name derived from the elements shemu (name or heard) and el (God), traditionally interpreted as heard by God or name of God. The name Samuel has deep biblical roots, borne most notably by the Hebrew prophet and judge who anointed the first kings of Israel. Sammie functions as both a masculine and feminine given name in English-speaking countries, making it one of the more gender-neutral shortenings in the Samuel family. Related forms include Sam, Sammy, and the feminine variant Samantha.
