Talk:Simon

Cowell, Paul
would either of the mute admins explain why simon cowell and paul simon are under the section "historical", or why they are mentioned at all?
 * There is no Historical section now; they should both be in the People list as they are both notable. Lkjhgfdsa 0 (talk) 06:02, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

"In the Bible", "On American Idol"

O...K......

German WP
In the German Wikipedia there is written:

Herkunft und Bedeutung des Namens


 * hebräisch Schimon: von Gott erhört

after that, Simon means "God answered (the prayer)"

But on this page is mentioned another meaning - so either the German or the Ehglish page must be wrong.

Apostrophe
What is with the Shim'on theres no apostrophe in the name so what is it there for? --Shimonnyman 19:28, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

The element meaning "heard" & "God" being separated I presume as why. 67.171.233.221 (talk) 12:58, 5 March 2011 (UTC)

Simon the High Priest
Does anyone know who that is? He's referenced in the Pool of Bethesda article. Nareek 02:29, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

Simon, Samuel
Both names (Simon & Sam) mean 'God has heard', are they not variants? 67.171.233.221 (talk) 12:56, 5 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually neither carry this meaning explicitly. Simon doesn't have a literal meaning in hebrew (i am a native speaker). It stems from the verb "to hear", and in the original context means "God has heard", so the definition given in this value is incorrect.
