What is the meaning of the name Simu ?

The baby name Simu is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced SEE-moo.

Simu is Greek, Hebrew, Latin, Romanian in Origin.

Simu is a Romanian short form of Simion, the local form of Simon/Simeon. The line runs back through Latin Simon and Greek Símōn or Symeṓn to Biblical Hebrew Šimʿon, written שִׁמְעוֹן. Its base is the Semitic root š-m-ʿ, to hear; in Genesis the name is explained by Leah’s words that the Lord had heard her. Literally, it carries the sense he has heard or hearing one.

In Romanian use, Simion is the more formal church and given-name form, while Simu appears as a clipped familiar form and as a surname. The name’s broader family is important in Christian naming because of the apostle Simon Peter and several saints named Simeon. Cognates include English Simon, Greek Symeon, Polish Szymon, Italian Simone, Portuguese Simão, and Romanian Simion. As a given name, Simu remains uncommon outside Romanian contexts.
