It is sometimes claimed that Samantha means "listener" in Aramaic, but the evidence for this is weak. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samantha The name Samantha originated from the Roman festival of sowing "Sementivae". Feriae Sementivae, or Sementina dies, was kept in seed-time for the purpose of praying for a good crop; it lasted only for one day, which was fixed by the pontiffs (Varro, de Ling. Lat. VI.26, de Re Rust. I.2, init.; Ovid, Fast. I.658, &c.). http://penelope.uchicago.edu/Thayer/E/Roman/Texts/secondary/SMIGRA*/Feriae.html Female children born around the period of Sementivae festival were given this name. The name Samantha means one who bestows plenty of food.
