Origin and meaning of Sansone
Sansone is the Italian form of Hebrew Shimshon, from shemesh, 'sun' — meaning 'little sun' or 'man of the sun.' It is above all a biblical name, that of the famous judge of Israel endowed with prodigious strength kept in his hair, whose story with Delilah is told in the Book of Judges. For this reason the name instantly evokes the idea of extraordinary strength. In Italy it is very rare as a given name and more frequent as a surname; abroad the form Samson prevails.
