Simon

New Testament version of Biblical Hebrew שִׁמְעוֹן‎ (shim'ón, “hearkening”), shaped to look like a Greek name; confer Σίμων (Símōn) and Σῖμος (Sîmos, “flat-nose”). In Britain, confusion arose at an early date due to similarity with native Sigmund (Siegmund), and its Norman introduced variant, Simund.

2. A male given name.
   • 1996 Margaret Atwood, Alias Grace, Bloomsbury, →ISBN, page 379:

     His first name is Simon. I wonder why his mother named him that, or it may have been his father. My own father never bothered with the naming of us, it was up to Mother and Aunt Pauline. There is Simon Peter the Apostle, of course, who was made a fisher of men by our Lord. But there is also Simple Simon. Met a pie man, going to the fair.
