Definition
A masculine given name of Hebrew origin meaning 'God has heard' or 'name of God'. Also refers to the biblical prophet and judge.
Etymology
From Hebrew 'Shemu'el', combining 'shema' (hear) and 'El' (God). The name appears in the Hebrew Bible as a prophet who anointed the first kings of Israel, Saul and David.
Kelly Says
Samuel bridges the biblical transition from judges to kings in Israel - he's the last judge and the first prophet to anoint kings! The name's meaning 'God has heard' reflects his mother Hannah's prayers for a child being answered.
