Meaning & origin
Semone is a rare feminine name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1960, reflecting a mid-20th century trend of adopting French-inspired variants. It reached its peak usage in 1988, but even then it remained uncommon, never entering the top 1,000. The name has been used with consistent but very low frequency, and its trajectory is classified as stable. As a variant of Simone, Semone shares etymological roots with the Hebrew name Simon, meaning 'heard'. Its usage has been primarily in the United States, though it has not concentrated in any particular state.
