Hearing-One (vocative: O Hearing-One)
| Root | Σίμων (Simōn) |
| Core Meanings | hearing, he has heard, heard-one |
| Semantic Range | Personal name meaning “he has heard” or “heard-one”; refers to several Israelites in the New Testament, including Simon Peter, Simon the Zealot, and others. |
| Conceptual Significance | The name reflects the Hebrew concept of YHWH hearing prayer or affliction (cf. Gen 29:33). In the New Testament, multiple key figures bear this name, reinforcing continuity with Israel’s heritage and the theme of divine hearing and response. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun, nominative masculine singular (NMS); also attested as vocative masculine singular (VMS). Functions as a personal name; case reflects syntactic role (subject or direct address). |
| Rendering Rationale | Σίμων is the Greek form of the Hebrew name שִׁמְעוֹן (Shimʿon), derived from שמע (“to hear”). Rendering it as “Hearing-One” preserves the root connection to hearing. The nominative masculine singular form functions as a proper name (“Hearing-One”), while the vocative masculine singular is naturally rendered “O Hearing-One” when directly addressed. |
