Sammi is in Origin.
Sammi is a modern, informal given name most often a pet form of Samuel or Samantha. From Hebrew Shemu'el (Samuel), it carries the meaning "heard by God" or "name of God"; through Samantha, a feminine formation modeled on Samuel, sometimes linked to Greek anthos "flower," though the etymology is debated, the name keeps a similar sense while adopting a lighter tone. The spelling Sammi reflects contemporary English usage, influenced by the longer Sammie/Sammy and the sleek Sami.
Used as a nickname across centuries, Sammi began appearing as an independent given name in late-20th-century English-speaking countries, fitting the trend of registering casual diminutives. It is unisex but leans feminine in this spelling. Notable bearers like Hong Kong star Sammi Cheng have broadened its visibility. Variants and related forms include Sammy, Sammie, Sami, Samy, Sam, and, as roots, Samuel and Samantha; note that Sami can also be an Arabic name meaning 'exalted'.
