In Georgian, Samson is written as: სამსონ.

Indeed! The name was more common in older times, which is indicated by the existence of the Georgian patronymic surnames of სამსონაძე (Samsonadze), სამსონაშვილი (Samsonashvili), სამსონია (Samsonia), სამსონიძე (Samsonidze) and სამსონიშვილი (Samsonishvili).
