Origin and meaning of Simonetta
Simonetta is the diminutive of Simona, feminine of Simone, from the Hebrew Shim'on, 'the one who listens, who has been heard'. It adds an affectionate, delicate shade to the original name. It is inseparably tied to Simonetta Vespucci, the young Florentine celebrated as Botticelli's muse and a symbol of Renaissance beauty. Typically Italian, it flourished in the twentieth century and keeps a retro elegance; it is almost unknown abroad, where at most the base form Simone survives.
