Names that Begin with the Letter SAMECH for Boys and Girls
In generations past, most Hebrew speakers in Israel and Jews in the diaspora chose Biblical names for their children. Generally, names given to boys and girls were Biblical in origin and gender-specific. Nowadays, past name-choice practices are still prevalent, but many parents do not limit themselves to Biblical nor gender-specific naming.

In modern Israel, among the new unisex names beginning with the letter SAMECH you will find STAV (autumn) and SOL (the musical sign).
