Shim‘on (“Hearing-One”)
| Root | Συμεών (Symeōn) |
| Core Meanings | proper name; hearing; he has heard |
| Semantic Range | Personal name referring to five Israelites in the New Testament; equivalent to Simeon/Simon; carries the underlying meaning of “hearing” or “heard (by God).” |
| Conceptual Significance | The name recalls the patriarch Simeon, son of Jacob, and expresses the biblical theme of YHWH hearing affliction or prayer (Genesis 29:33). In the New Testament it connects Jewish identity and continuity, notably in figures such as Simeon of Jerusalem and Simeon called Niger. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, masculine singular, indeclinable Semitic name; appears in nominative masculine singular (NMSI) and genitive masculine singular (GMSI) forms in the UGNT, with case indicated by context rather than change in spelling. |
| Rendering Rationale | Συμεών is the Greek form of the Hebrew name שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim‘on), derived from the root שמע (“to hear”). Rendering it as “Shim‘on (‘Hearing-One’)” preserves the Semitic root sense embedded in the name while reflecting its nominative masculine singular form as a personal name; in genitive contexts it would mean “of Shim‘on.” |
