Simon

The origin and history of Simon.

Etymology

From an Anglo-Norman blending of two originally separate names: one from the Hebrew name behind "Simeon," meaning roughly "one who hears," and the other from an Old English/Old Norse name meaning "protector of victory" — the same root that gives us Sigmund.
