Strong's Lexicon Simón: Simon Original Word: Σίμων Word Origin: Of Hebrew origin, derived from שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim'on) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H8095 (שִׁמְעוֹן, Shim'on) Usage: The name Simon is a common Jewish name in the New Testament, meaning "he has heard" or "God has heard." It is used to refer to several individuals in the New Testament, most notably Simon Peter, one of Jesus' twelve apostles, and Simon the Zealot, another apostle. The name reflects a common practice of the time, where names were often given in hope or recognition of divine intervention or blessing. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, names were significant and often reflected personal or familial aspirations or experiences. Simon was a popular name among Jews, partly due to its association with the tribe of Simeon, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The name's popularity is also linked to its meaning, which conveys a sense of divine attentiveness and response. In the Greco-Roman world, Jewish names like Simon were often retained even when individuals interacted with broader Hellenistic culture, indicating a strong sense of identity and heritage.
