What is the meaning of the name Simona ?

The baby name Simona is a Female name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced English: /sɪˈmoʊnə/ (si-MOH-nuh); Italian/Spanish/Romanian: /siˈmo.na/ (see-MOH-nah).

Simona is Hebrew in Origin.

Simona is the feminine form of Simon, ultimately from Hebrew Shim‘on, based on the verb shama‘ “to hear,” yielding the sense “one who is heard” or “listener (heard by God).” The name moved through Greek as Symeon/Simon and Latin Simon, with the feminine Simona taking shape in Romance languages and later spreading into Central and Eastern Europe. In French the parallel feminine is Simone, while in Italian Simone is masculine and Simona the standard feminine.

Found sporadically in medieval records, Simona gained steady use in Italy, Spain, and the Balkans and rose sharply in the later 20th century in Italy, Romania, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia; it remains uncommon but recognizable in English-speaking countries. Variants and cognates include Simona (Italian, Spanish, Romanian, Czech, Slovak, Bulgarian, Greek, Lithuanian), Simone (French, Portuguese), Simonetta/Simonette, and Czech Šimona. Common nicknames are Simo, Simi, Moni, and Mona.
