What does the name Symone mean?
Symone is a spelling of Simone, pronounced the same way, so it shares Simone's meaning and origin.
Simone is the French feminine of Simon, as Wiktionary notes (in Italian, Simone is the masculine form). Simon was a Greek name (DMNES glosses it 'flat-nosed') used in the New Testament to render Hebrew Shimʿon, which Genesis 29:33 explains through Leah's words that the LORD 'heard' her, from shamaʿ 'to hear'. Well-known bearers include the writer Simone de Beauvoir, the singer Nina Simone and the gymnast Simone Biles.
