Sime Origin and Meaning

The name Sime is a boy's name.

Sime is a masculine name with multiple cultural origins. In Croatian and other South Slavic languages, it functions as a diminutive form of Simeon or Simon, names deriving from the Hebrew Shimon meaning 'he has heard.' In Scottish usage, particularly in the Highlands, Sime appears as a variant or nickname for Simon. Pronounced 'SEE-meh' in Slavic contexts and 'SIME' (rhyming with 'time') in English-speaking regions, this short, approachable name carries cultural richness despite its simplicity. Sime remains relatively uncommon internationally, giving it a distinctive quality while maintaining connections to the more familiar Simon. Its brevity makes it practical across language barriers.
