Simeon
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Simeon, Symeon, or Shimon is a Hebrew name (שִׁמְעוֹן) meaning "hearkening; listening", pronounced in Biblical Hebrew Šimʿon, Tiberian Hebrew Šimʿôn. In Greek, it is written Συμεών, hence the spelling with a 'y'. In this disambiguation page, only the most common spelling of each name is used, though often both Simeon and Symeon are in common usage.
See also Simon.
