Shimonah Origin and Meaning

The name Shimonah is a girl's name.

Shimonah is a rare feminine name with Hebrew origins, possibly derived from 'Shimon' (the Hebrew form of Simon, meaning 'to hear' or 'to listen'). The feminine suffix '-ah' transforms the traditionally male name into a graceful feminine form. This name carries biblical and cultural significance in Jewish traditions, though it remains uncommon even within these communities. Shimonah has a lyrical quality with its flowing syllables and soft ending. The name might appeal to parents seeking a name with Hebrew roots that is both authentic to tradition yet distinctive and uncommon. Its rarity gives it a special quality while still being relatively straightforward in pronunciation for those familiar with Hebrew-origin names.
