Συμεὼν
Symeṓn
Simeon
Proper name: Symeon. Used as a personal name, referring to several individuals of Israelite or Judean descent. The primary referent is the Israelite patriarch Simeon, the second son of Jacob/Israel and Leah, but also used for other figures and for Simeon Peter (also called Simon Peter) in acts of the early Jesus movement. The name functions simply as a personal name without carrying an inherent lexical meaning beyond identification; in Greek transcription, it designates those bearing the Hebrew name שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim'on). In some New Testament contexts, Συμεών distinguishes individuals from those called Σίμων (Simon).
