Samuel (name)
Samuel (Hebrew language, Hebrew: שְׁמוּאֵל ''Šəmūʾēl'', Tiberian Hebrew, Tiberian: ''Šămūʾēl'') is a male name and a surname of Hebrew origin. It means "name of God", deriving from the Hebrew Shem (שֵׁם) (which means "name") + ʾĒl (which means "God" or "deity"). However, from the explanation given in 1 Samuel 1, 1 Samuel 1:20, the name could alternatively come from a contraction of the Hebrew language, Hebrew שְׁאִלְתִּיו מֵאֵל (Modern Hebrew, Modern: Šəʾīltīv mēʾĒl, Tiberian Hebrew, Tiberian: Šĭʾīltīw mēʾĒl), meaning "I have asked/borrowed him from God".

Her prayers having been answered, she dedicates the child to God as a Nazirite. Samuel was the last of the Biblical judges, ruling judges in the Old Testament.
