Our generated misspelling index lists 12 likely wrong-spelling variants for Samantha, with forms such as "asmantha", "saamntha", and "samanhta". Each variant is a distinct typo pattern an edit-distance generator flags, typically a doubled-consonant error, a silent-letter drop, or a vowel substitution. It is not paired with a close-neighbour confusable in our dataset, since no other headword is close enough in sound or shape to pair with it.

Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, leaving phoneme-to-grapheme mapping as the best guide to its spelling rather than a borrowing history. The correct French form is Samantha, spelled S-A-M-A-N-T-H-A.
