Language & etymology
What the name means.
Shimshon is generally connected with shemesh, “sun.” Consecrated strength is a devotional theme, not a literal translation. Samson is a biblical person, not a divine name.
Gematria
The numeric value.
Shin 300 + Mem 40 + Shin 300 + Vav 6 + Nun 50 = 696
Numeric value is a traditional interpretive practice; it is not the word’s etymology and does not establish doctrine.
Paleo-Hebrew character
A devotional reflection.
These ancient Hebrew-script forms accompany a devotional meditation, not a historical translation or proof of etymology. Letter-picture associations are interpretive and do not establish doctrine.
