Might have something to do with Greek mythology.
Samia was the daughter of the river-god Maeander. She married one of the Argonauts named Ancae�s, a Lelegian king of Samos.
Samos was an island off the western coast of Asia Minor, between Ephesus and Miletus. The island was named after Samia herself.
