Hannah named the child Samuel because, she said, she asked for him from the Lord. The name is linked in the text to her request and God’s answer. 1 Samuel 1:20
20It happened, when the time was come about, that Hannah conceived, and bore a son; and she named him Samuel, [saying], Because I have asked him of Yahweh.
