Well that nine month long debate about choosing a name is over, with Melissa making the final call…a call that I totally agree with by the way 
We were on the fence with Nathan or Samuel and I figured Melissa deserved the final say after all that hard work.
So now that little Samuel is here, what’s does he name mean if anything? Well if we go down the religious path, the name Samuel stems from the Hebrew name Shemu’el, which could mean either “name of God” or “God has heard”. If you wanna go even deeper, in the Old Testament, Samuel was the son of Hannah, a prophet and a judge who anointed Saul as the first king of Israel. What does that mean for my little guy? Well nuthin‘! Its just a little back story, and that’s always in abundant supply when researching the meaning of names, which is why I like doing it. Everything from family trees to immigration documents can now be easily searched and ordered to complete you very own family tree/history book.
On the modern front, Samuel was the 25th most popular boy’s name in the US in 2006 and the 8th most popular in the UK. Other interesting info on the name Samuel like “Were you bullied a lot because of your name?” be found here. They even supply examples as to how to use the name for bullying. So if you’re a bully with a lack of imagination, this site is for you
