What is the meaning of the name Simone ?

The baby name Simone is a girl name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced sih-MOHN.

Simone is French, Greek, Hebrew, Latin in Origin.

Simone is the French feminine form of Simon, with final -e marking the feminine in French orthography. Its deeper source is Hebrew Šimʿon, borne in the Hebrew Bible and connected with the verb šāmaʿ, to hear. Greek rendered the name as Symeōn and Simōn, later Latin Simon; the underlying sense is he has heard, traditionally understood as God has heard.

Christian usage spread the Simon/Simeon family across Europe, helped by Simeon son of Jacob, the aged Simeon in Luke, and Simon Peter. Simone developed differently by language: in French and English it is normally feminine and two syllables, while Italian Simone is masculine and three syllables. Feminine cognates include Simona, Simonne, Simonette, Simonetta, and Simeona. Modern recognition is shaped by French figures such as Simone de Beauvoir, Simone Weil, Simone Signoret, and Simone Veil, alongside American gymnast Simone Biles.
