What is the meaning of the name Semonah ?

The baby name Semonah is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /sɛˈmoʊnə/ (seh-MOH-nah).

Semonah is Italian, Latin in Origin.

Semonah is a rare feminine given name most plausibly formed as a creative variant of Simona/Simone with the fashionable -ah ending. Through these widely attested forms it traces back to Hebrew Shim’on, via Greek Symeon and Latin Simon, from the root sh-m-ʿ meaning “to hear,” often glossed as “heard by God.” The name has no long-standing historical footprint under the spelling Semonah, but fits contemporary Anglophone trends that adapt familiar biblical bases into distinctive spellings.

Variants and related forms include Semona, Simona (Italian, Romanian, Czech), Simone (French, German, English), Shimona (Hebrew/Arabic-influenced), and the Slavic Semyona/Semena; diminutives such as Mona and Simi occur. Semonah remains uncommon in records and baby-name data, valued for its soft cadence and devotional meaning. Some note a phonetic resemblance to Hebrew shmoneh “eight,” giving it a symbolic link to renewal, though this is a folk association rather than its etymology.
