Origin: Hebrew

Meaning: To be heard

Soft as the most soothing lullaby, Shimon is a boy’s name of Hebrew origin. Similar to its sibilant sister name Shim’on, which means “to be heard” or “he has heard” in Hebrew, Shimon is a solid choice if your little one loves to listen. Not only is Shimon marvelous in meaning, but it’s also music to the ears. As the whisper of its “Sh” sounds settle into its nasal “Mms” and “Nns,” there’s no turning back from the sweet slumber that awaits. Names like Simon and Simeon might be popular picks, but if you hope for a little more hush, maybe Shimon is where you’ll find it.
