Simion is the Romanian and broader Eastern Orthodox form of the biblical name Simeon, from Hebrew Shim‘on, “he has heard” or “God has heard,” built on the verb shamaʿ “to hear.” The form came into Romanian through Greek Symeon (Symeōn) and Church Slavonic, and it sometimes overlaps with Simon, a related New Testament spelling. In Romania and Moldova, Simion appears as both a given name and a surname.

Use spans antiquity to modern times: Simeon, son of Jacob and Leah; the righteous elder who sings the Nunc Dimittis in Luke; monastic saints such as Simeon Stylites; and medieval rulers like Bulgaria’s Tsar Simeon I. In Romanian history, bearers include Simion Bărnuțiu and geographer Simion Mehedinți, sustaining its cultural presence. International variants include Simeon/Symeon, Simon, Shimon (Hebrew), Simeón (Spanish), Siméon (French), Simeone (Italian), Semyon/Semën (Russian), and Simeon in South Slavic; diminutive Simi and feminine Simona are common.
