英文名simon的来源
Simon is a common name,from Hebrew שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim'on),meaning "hearkening" or "listening".
Simon
English,French,German,Dutch,Spanish (Simón),Czech and Slovak (Šimon),Slovenian,Hungarian,and Jewish (Ashkenazic):from the personal name,Hebrew Shim‘on,which is probably derived from the verb sham‘a ‘to hearken’.In the Vulgate and in many vernacular versions of the Old Testament,this is usually rendered Simeon.In the Greek New Testament,however,the name occurs as Simon,as a result of assimilation to the pre-existing Greek byname Simon (from simos ‘snub-nosed’).Both Simon and Simeon were in use as personal names in western Europe from the Middle Ages onward.In Christendom the former was always more popular,at least in part because of its associations with the apostle Simon Peter,the brother of Andrew.In Britain there was also confusion from an early date with Anglo-Scandinavian forms of Sigmund ,a name whose popularity was reinforced at the Conquest by the Norman form Simund.
