The name Samwell is a male given name of Hebrew origin, derived from the more commonly known Samuel. Pronounced as SAM-wel (/ˈsæm.wɛl/), it carries the meaning "God has heard" or "Name of God." The name Samwell gained some modern recognition through popular culture, notably in the character Samwell Tarly from the acclaimed series "Game of Thrones," which has added a touch of literary and heroic charm to its appeal.
