It fits either rather well, but it was always a man's nickname til "Samantha" became popular.
-
I have both male and female friends that go bu the nickname Sam. Culturally I think most people assume it is a masculine name, however I like it better as a feminine nickname for Samantha.
-
For a female. Of course, I am biased since I am a girl and go by Andy.
-
I've heard it both for man's name also maybe shortcut for samuel and for woman's as short for samantha. I once named my kitten sam since I wasn't sure about the gender. I like it on both but more on men.
-
I've been in love with Sam as a girl's nickname for Samantha since Bewitched on TV. Named a female cat that, too. And it's a nick for Samuel or Samantha.
-
I know both kinds of users. I think I know more Sams that are girls. It's okay for both.
-
When I hear Sam, I think of a nickname for a guy. I don't know why, since I only know girls with the name Sam.
-
For both. I must admit I like names for girls that can be turned into boyish sounding names. Charlie Eddie Sam Toni Terri.

Sam is short for names like Samantha, Samuel, Samara, Saman, Sampson, etc. Sam as a short form is alright for both males and females. If I have to pick one over the other, I am going to go with the name Sam is better for boys simply because my first ex boyfriend's name happens to be Samuel, along with the majority of my ex crushes.

I call my daughter, Samantha, Sam all the time, I usually associate it with a girl, but it works for both..
