Meaning & origin
Simmone is a rare feminine name that has never ranked in the U.S. top 1000. First recorded in 1966, it saw its peak usage in 1989, likely influenced by the growing popularity of the more common spelling Simone. Since the 1980s, its trajectory has been stable, with very few births per year. Simmone is a respelled variant of Simone, itself the French feminine form of Simon. Despite its rarity, the name carries the same Hebrew root as Simone, meaning 'he has heard'. For parents seeking an uncommon but recognizable name with a familiar sound, Simmone offers a distinctive spelling that still feels traditional.
Simmone is a respelled variant of Simone, the French feminine form of Simon. Simon derives from the Hebrew name Shim'on, meaning 'he has heard'. The name Simone gained popularity in the English-speaking world in the 20th century, and Simmone emerged as a modern spelling variant, possibly influenced by the double 'm' spelling of names like Simone. It has been used in the United States since the 1960s, with a peak in the 1980s.
