I had never given much thought to the name Samantha. For some reason I assumed it was invented by an author. Due to the possible origins that have been shown in a way it was. I am curious now about the invention of Semanthe and why it was reused by so many authors. There have been many names invented by authors and not used by other authors. So why was Semanthe used so many times? (These are not all questions in need of answers, I am thinking out loud as I go down the Samantha rabbit hole).

I will also say that it has always reminded me of the Greek Psamathe.

Thank you for your research and also thank you to Cleveland Evans for his on this subject.
