👉 "Sam Edelman" comes from a Latin phrase "Samus," which translates to "the best man." The name was originally used in the 18th century, when it was thought that Samu, or David, would become the first Christian ruler in Palestine. Samuel (meaning "he who makes" or "the one who brings") later became known for his role as king of Judah, a kingdom he established on the same day as David's birth. The name eventually became associated with wealth and power in Jewish society.
