however, modern historians and archaeologists debate this, citing the probable Slavic origins of the name Samo among other supporting factors.
Samo is derived from Germanic language :same = M.E. (Old Saxon), O.N. samr,sami Goth. sama. German language Samen (Semen)= English seeds.
Other samples; Samland , Prussia, Sami or Lapps in northern Europe etc.
The Slavs who came into Germania also took over many German/ic words and often adapted them.
Krol for example means king in Slavic. It is derived from Karol(us) ,king/emperor Karl der Grosse or Charlemagne, who ruled over the land. H. Jonat
Samo ruled teritories probably more souh from Moravia, soem say that he ruled Pannonia.
However it would worth mentioning later state of Great Moravia, which was destroyed by Hungarians, and which destrouction allowed to creating states of Poland and Czech
