History & Origin

Symon respells Simon, from Hebrew Shim'on, 'he has heard.' Simon is a major biblical name — borne by the apostle Peter (Simon Peter) among others — and the y-form appears in some Slavic and modern usages while keeping the same root (said 'SYE-mun').

As a spelling it appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. against the standard Simon. Rare, biblical, and fresh-looking.
