Samwise

The meaning of Samwise is 'half-wise' or 'simple'. It’s derived from an ancient English word, 'samwis'. It was made famous by J.R.R. Tolkein’s epic book ‘Lord Of The Rings’. Samwise Gamgee is perhaps the second most important character in the book due to the unfailing devotion and support he gives protagonist and ring-bearer Frodo. The name got even more widespread attention when the film versions of the book were released. However, that doesn’t mean it’s often used. It’s actually pretty rare in most English-speaking countries. It may not be a modern name, but with ‘Sam’ being just one of the possible nicknames, it’s an excellent way for parents to pay tribute to their favorite book without encountering negative attention. It couldn’t be easier to pronounce 'sam-wise'.
