Speculation (without evidence) has suggested an origin from the masculine given name Samuel and anthos, the Greek word for "flower".''

"Samantha" remained a rare name until the 1873 publication of the first novel in a series by Marietta Holley, featuring the adventures of a lady named "Samantha", wife of Josiah Allen.
