sinnot is Irish in Origin.

Sinnot is a surname-turned-given name of Norman French origin. It derives from Simonet, a medieval French diminutive of Simon, ultimately from Hebrew Shim‘on meaning “he has heard” or “God has heard.” Through Anglo-Norman and Cambro-Norman migration, the name became established in Ireland, where it is especially associated with County Wexford.

As a first name, Sinnot is rare and modern, aligning with the trend of adopting distinctive surnames as given names. Historical records show numerous spellings - Sinnott (most common), Sinott, Synnot, Synnott, and Synott - reflecting medieval and Irish orthographic shifts, though the meaning remains tied to Simon’s sense of attentiveness and being heard. Usage today appears chiefly in Ireland, Britain, Australia, and North America, often chosen to honor Wexford lineage or as a crisp, heritage-forward alternative to Simon. Variant spellings such as Sinnott or Synnott are interchangeable in sense and origin.
