That's interesting! I've always seen Samantha as a feminization of Sam lol
The female forms of Samuel (Shmuel) & Samson (Shimshon) are Shmuela & Shimshona. The first is rather rare, the second extremely. Both weren't used before the beginning of the XXth century. I don't think Shem has a female form.
I can't find any name close to Samantha is my Hebrew names book...
