God has heard
Originally a diminutive of Samuel or Samantha, Sammie has evolved into a standalone unisex name. It derives from the Hebrew name Shemu'el, which is traditionally interpreted as 'God has heard' or 'name of God'. While historically used as a nickname, it is now chosen by parents seeking a friendly, approachable, and gender-neutral option.
