The baby name Semon is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈsɛmən/ (SEH-muhn),/sʲɪˈmʲon/ (Russian, approx. sye-MYON).
Semon is Hebrew in Origin.
Semon is a cross-cultural variant of the biblical names Simeon and Simon, ultimately from Hebrew Shim’on (שמעון), meaning “he has heard” or “God has heard,” from the verb shama‘, “to hear.” In Eastern Slavic settings it reflects the Russian Semyon (Семён), whose older transliterations yielded Semen or Semon; the form also occurs as a surname-derived given name in Western Europe tied to Simon.
Its pedigree spans Judaism, early Christianity, and Orthodox tradition: Simeon son of Jacob and the New Testament elder who blessed Jesus anchored the name, while Byzantine saints styled Symeon and rulers like Tsar Simeon I sustained prestige. Variants include Semyon, Semen, Symeon, Simeon, Simon, Simón, Simão, Szymon, Šimon, and Simen; Russian diminutives are Syoma/Sema. Pronunciations vary (English SEE-mən; Russian sye-MYON).
