History & Origin

Cimone reworks Simone with an opening C, keeping the French elegance of the parent while nodding to a fashion for restyled spellings. Behind it lies Simon and the Hebrew Shimon, 'he has heard,' so the meaning travels intact.

Cimone showed up lightly in the American records around 1992, reaching only about fourteen girls a year before slipping away. A girl named Cimone then would be in her mid-thirties today, with Simone remaining the standard version.

Did you know? The related spelling Cymone was worn by a member of Prince's band in the nineteen-eighties, which helped such C-forms circulate for a time.
