Symona Origin and Meaning

The name Symona is a girl's name.

Symona is a feminine variation of Simon, a name of Hebrew origin meaning 'he who hears' or 'one who listens.' This feminine adaptation maintains the meaningful roots while offering a distinctly feminine form through the 'a' ending. Less common than the variant Simone (popular in French-speaking regions), Symona offers a unique alternative with its 'y' spelling. The name carries biblical connections through Simon Peter, one of Jesus's apostles, giving it religious significance for some families. While not widely used in English-speaking countries, Symona has an elegant, classic quality that appeals to parents seeking names with historical depth but contemporary rarity. Its three-syllable rhythm creates a melodic, flowing sound.
