Origin and meaning of Szymon
Szymon is the Polish form of Simon, from the Hebrew Shim'on, tied to the verb shama, «to listen», thus interpreted as «the one who listens to God». It is the name of two apostles, including Simon Peter, and retains in Poland a strong tie to Christian tradition. It has been consistently among the most chosen boys' names in recent years, valued for its warm sound and classic solidity without feeling heavy or old-fashioned.
