Origin and meaning of Simone
Simone comes from the Hebrew Shim'on, 'he who hears, one heard by God,' through the Greek Simon. A name steeped in biblical tradition — it belongs to the apostle Simon Peter — it joins the idea of listening to a long Christian heritage. In Italian it is masculine and very common, while in French-speaking countries Simone is feminine. The variants Simon, Simón and Szymon are found across Europe. It has a sound that is soft yet solid, and never dated.
