Origin of the name Samuel: The baby name Samuel comes from the Hebrew name Shemu'el, who was one of the judges and prophets of the Old Testament. He was the one who foretold Jesse, David's father, that David would be king. Due to the importance of this character in the Old Testament, the Protestants during the Reformation spread this name throughout the world. This led to some of the most important historical figures including Samuel Clemens, Samuel Morse, and Samuel Beckett. Meaning of Samuel Samuel does not mean "name of God, his name is God" like the above states. It means "God Heard" or "God Hears".samuelz Samuel has the specific meaning "Asked of God", relating to 1 Samuel, when Hannah asked God for a son and he heard her request. My mother had a similar situation surrounding my birth: she did not know if they would be able to conceive and prayed, and then had me. Originally I was going to be Michael but then she changed it, and I have forever been grateful for my name! The true meaning of ‘Samuel’ cannot be described with just a few words. Your name is your destiny, heart’s desire, and personality. Samuel is a name that represents a tendency to exhibit extremes in terms of material success. You are either possessing a great deal of good fortune or none at all. It is your birthright to rule an enterprise – that is, if you are up to the challenge. Balance and power are the two words that describe you. Orion Clemens took up his official duties in Carson City while Sam dashed about the territory trying to attach himself to some of its fabled wealth. (Writing as Mark Twain a decade later, he’d immortalize the experiences in Roughing It, making judicious use of “improved facts.”) Sam Clemens spent the rest of the year mining, and he found the labor “hard and long and dismal,” not to mention dangerous and un-remunerative.Fortunately for American literary destiny, none of Clemens’s mines came in rich, or anything close. A gifted yarner, he amused his companions with lively storytelling, and he wrote burlesque sketches, a few of which found their way into the pages of Virginia City’s leading newspaper, the Territorial Enterprise, over the pseudonym “Josh,” a pen name presumably intended as more verb than noun. Like so many others in the Nevada Territory, Sam Clemens was rich in “feet,” but poor in cash. By July 1862, he was trying to sell writing to newspapers all over the West.
