The first name Samuel has its origins in the Hebrew name שְׁמוּאֵל (Shemu'el), which translates to "God has heard" or "name of God." This name is deeply rooted in biblical history, as Samuel is a significant figure in the Old Testament, known as a prophet and the last judge of Israel. The name first appeared in ancient Israel and has been widely used in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions, reflecting its enduring spiritual significance. Samuel is often associated with qualities such as wisdom, leadership, and a strong moral compass, traits that were exemplified by the biblical Samuel. Variations of the name can be found across different cultures, including Samuele in Italian, Samyuel in Arabic, and the diminutive forms like Sam or Sammy in English-speaking countries. The name has maintained its popularity over centuries, adapting to various linguistic and cultural contexts while retaining its core meaning and significance.
The last name Johnston, also spelled as Johnson, is of English and Scottish origin, deriving from the given name John, which itself comes from the Hebrew name Yochanan, meaning "God is gracious." The surname first appeared in the medieval period, particularly in the regions of England and Scotland, where it was often used to denote "son of John." Historically, those who bore the name were likely to be associated with agrarian or clerical occupations, reflecting the common practice of naming children after their fathers.
