The baby name Rimon is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /riˈmon/ (REE-MON).
Rimon is Hebrew in Origin.
Rimon is a Hebrew given name and surname meaning “pomegranate” (רימון). The fruit is a longstanding Jewish symbol of abundance, fertility, and the 613 commandments, and it appears on priestly garments and Temple ornamentation in the Hebrew Bible. As a modern Israeli name, Rimon is used for boys and girls, prized for its bright imagery and concise sound; in everyday Hebrew it also names the hand grenade, by analogy to the fruit’s shape.
The name has deep textual footprints: Rimmon/Rimon designates several biblical towns, and “Rimmon” in 2 Kings refers to the Syrian god of Damascus, an unrelated or debated etymology. Variants and related forms include Rimmon (biblical spelling), the feminine Rimona/Rimonah, and the family name Rimon. Cognates in other Semitic languages include Arabic rummān “pomegranate,” which occasionally inspires parallel names. Pronunciation is ree-MOHN (Hebrew), sometimes REE-mon in English contexts.
