Semona is in Origin.

Semona is a rare feminine given name most often treated as a variant spelling of Simona/Simone, the feminine form of Simon. Via Latin Simon and Greek Símōn, it traces back to Hebrew Shim‘on, usually interpreted as “(God) has heard” or “the listener.” A minority, antiquarian reading links the form to Latin Semonia, a rustic Roman goddess of sowing (from semen, “seed”), though this association is uncertain and not widely accepted in onomastics.

Feminine forms of Simon have circulated across Romance and Slavic Europe since at least early modern times; the spelling Semona surfaces sporadically in 20th–21st‑century records, often as a creative or dialect-influenced choice in multilingual families. Related variants include Simona, Simone, Shimona, Samona, and the rarer Semonia; common short forms are Mona, Sima, and Simi. The name’s prevailing meaning aligns with the biblical root - “heard” or “God has heard” - carrying connotations of answered prayer and attentiveness.
