Semoan is in Origin.

Semoan is an uncommon modern given name most plausibly arising as a creative respelling of Simeon/Simon, ultimately from Hebrew Shim‘on, “he has heard” or “God has heard.” The name traveled into Greek as Symeon and became widespread through Jewish and Christian tradition - borne by a son of Jacob in the Hebrew Bible and by early saints and New Testament figures. Its vowel pattern also recalls related forms across languages, such as Russian Semyon/Semion and the Levantine Arabic/Syriac Semaan/Samaan used among Middle Eastern Christians. The spelling must not be confused with Samoan, the demonym.

Historical usage for Semoan itself appears recent and largely English-language, reflecting contemporary tastes for distinctive variants rather than a separate etymology. Related variants and cognates include Simeon, Simon, Symeon, Semyon, Semion, Semaan, Samaan, Semon, and Semone; feminine forms include Simone and Simona. Common nicknames are Sim and Simo.
