Simon comes from the Hebrew shim'on, meaning "one who hears" or "hearkening," and is among the oldest and most enduring biblical names, borne by the apostle Simon Peter. It has remained in steady use across many languages and centuries.

Simon has a classic, gentle-mannered feel — a solid choice for a companion who seems attentive and thoughtful, always tuned in to what's happening around them.
