Samuel Samuel

Samuel is the last of the judges and the one who anoints Saul, the first king of Israel. His mother is Hannah and his father is Elkanah.

The name Samuel consists of two parts, which are both also names:
Shem (shem 2405), which means 'name,' and which is also the name of Shem, the son of Noah.
The second part of the name Samuel is el (El 93), the abbreviated genus God.
In between these two elements sits the letter waw, which often works as a linguistic coupling, so that the name Samuel means Name Of God.
