Sammi

Sammi is a female given name, a diminutive of Samantha, itself of uncertain origin — possibly a feminine form of Samuel, from Hebrew Shemuel meaning 'God has heard,' or possibly from an Aramaic source. The double-M and -i spelling gives it a particularly affectionate, informal quality.

Sammi with two Ms and an i is the most invested possible spelling of this name, and that investment shows. It is a name that wears its warmth openly, carrying all the friendliness of Samantha without any of the formality. Female pets named Sammi tend to be outgoing, affectionate, and entirely comfortable with being the center of attention — the kind of dog who starts wagging her tail before you have even fully opened the front door, or the cat who follows you from room to room just to keep tabs on things.
