Sammanfa is in Origin.

Sammanfa is a contemporary English respelling of Samantha, influenced by dialectal th-fronting that renders the name as “Samanfa” in some British accents, and by the doubled m seen in variants like Sammantha. Samantha itself appears in English from the 18th century, probably coined by blending the Hebrew name Samuel (from Shemu’el, “God has heard”) with the Greek-derived suffix -antha (“flower”). Because its formation is hybrid and uncertain, interpretations range from “God has heard” to “flower-like,” and are best treated as suggestive rather than definitive.

In use, Samantha spread in the 19th century and became widely popular across the English-speaking world after the 1960s; by contrast, Sammanfa remains rare and stylistically modern, found chiefly in creative spellings on birth records and social platforms. Related forms and variants include Samantha, Samanta, Samanfa, and Sammantha. Common nicknames are Sam, Sami/Sammie, and Mantha.
