"Samhna" is the genitive singular case of "Samhain", which is the name given to the first day of November. This day was a very large feast in pagan, especially Celtic, tradition. It was one of the most important festivals of the year. (The month of November is "Mí na Samhna" in Irish and "Oíche Shamhna" is the Irish for Halloween.)
