Sampa is derived from two Nafaanra words; Se (Go) and Pa (Come), when the two words are combined as 'Sempa', it means, "When you go come back." Sempa has now assumed the orthographic form 'Sampa'. Sampa, capital of the Jaman North Municipal was originally called Sikasoko. It means gold powder. This explains the abundant gold in the area in times past. In 1890s when the British and French colonialists established a boundary between their territories, Sampa which was known as Sikasoko was designated headquarters. Before Sunyani became the capita, Sampa had served as capital of the district, which comprised Jaman, Wenchi, Techiman, Berekum, Wam (Dormaa), Ahafo, Odumasi and Sunyani.
