A male given name, often used as a nickname for Samuel or Samson.
A diminutive or shortened form of the name Samuel, which comes from Hebrew 'Shemuel' meaning 'God has heard.' Sammy became a popular standalone name in English-speaking countries.
Sammy is one of those names that jumped from being just a nickname to a fully legitimate first name—similar to how 'Bob' started as a nickname for Robert but became its own thing. Names like this show how casual, everyday speech can change what we consider 'official.'
