sinot is in Origin.

Sinot is a rare given name more familiar as a surname in Ireland and France. Linguistically, it fits the French hypocoristic pattern with the diminutive -ot and is widely regarded as a curtailed form of Simonot, “little Simon.” Through Norman-Welsh settlers in the 12th century, related spellings became established in southeast Ireland (notably Wexford), where Sinnott/Synnot(t) is a prominent surname. As a given name, Sinot is a modern, gender-neutral choice with Old World roots.

Variants and related forms include Sinott, Sinnott, Synnott, Synnot, Sinotte, Simonot, and Signot; it aligns with the Simon/Symeon family of names. If traced to Simon/Simonot, its meaning inherits the Hebrew Shim‘on: “he has heard; listening.” Some scholars also note overlap with medieval Germanic name shapes in -not, but the Simon-derived reading is the most secure. Usage today is uncommon, lending Sinot a distinctive, surname-style appeal.
