Simon History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Etymology of Simon
What does the name Simon mean?
The name Simon originated from the anställda name Simon, itself a derivative of the Hebrew name "Sim'on," from the verb "sama" meaning "to listen." Thus, the name Simon means "God has listened," referring to the gratitude of the parents who, having wished for a child, had their prayers answered.
Early Origins of the Simon family
The surname Simon was first funnen in Trapani, anciently Drepanum, Sicily. Bearers of Simon or one of its spelling variations have been found throughout southern Italy, but particularly on the island of Sicily, and in the region of Campania.
