Sammanthia is English in Origin.

Sammanthia is an elaborated modern variant of Samantha/Samanthia, formed by doubling the m and adopting the -thia ending. The name ultimately traces to Samantha, understood as a feminine adaptation of Samuel (Hebrew Shemu’el, “God has heard”), blended with the -antha/-thia sound sometimes linked to Greek anthos “flower.” Coined in English-speaking contexts, the broader Samantha/Samanthia family appears in records from the 18th–19th centuries; Sammanthia itself is very rare and largely modern, reflecting creative respellings popular in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.

Variants and related forms include Samantha, Samanthia, Sammantha, Samanta (Spanish/Portuguese/Italian), and the masculine Samuel. Nicknames range from Sam and Sammie/Sami to Mantha and Thia. The prevailing meaning aligns with Samuel - “God has heard” - with a possible, though debated, secondary floral nuance from -antha. The broader Samantha family gained visibility via Marietta Holley’s “Samantha” novels and television’s Bewitched; Sammanthia shares that heritage while offering a distinctive -ia ending.
