Sames as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Sames

What is the meaning of the name Sames ?

The baby name Sames is a boy name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced SAYMZ.

Sames is English, Hebrew in Origin.

Sames is best treated as a transferred English surname rather than an ancient given name. Its root is the Middle English personal name Sam, a short form of Samuel, from Hebrew Shemu’el, usually interpreted as God has heard or name of God. The final -s is the common English genitival or patronymic ending, so early forms such as Sams and Sammes indicated Sam’s son, servant, or household.

As a family name, Sames belongs with the variable medieval spellings Sams, Sammes, Samms, Same, and Sam. Such forms occur in England after Norman-period record keeping made hereditary surnames more regular, especially in counties where biblical names like Samuel circulated through church use. Its modern use as a first name is rare and appears mainly as surname adoption; in the United States it remains far better documented as a surname in census files than as a registered given name.
