Alternative forms

Etymology

Pre-Islamic Arabization of Biblical Hebrew שְׁמוּאֵל‎ (šəmūʾēl). Chiefly borne by Jews. The forms سَمَوْئِيل‎ (samawʔīl), سَمَوِيل‎ (samawīl) are typically Christian, although also encountered for ethnic Jews. Later borrowed again as شَمَوْئِيل‎ (šamawʔīl), شَمَوِيل‎ (šamawīl), apparently supported by the Classical Syriac form ܫܡܘܝܠ‎, but now most popular for referring to Israeli Hebrew men. Lastly, forms like صَمُوئِل‎ (ṣamūʔil), صَمُوئِيل‎ (ṣamūʔīl), صَمْوِيل‎ (ṣamwīl) are from European languages including English.
