See שמעון in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: /ʃimˈ(ʔ)on/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew], /ˈʃimon/ [Modern-Israeli-Hebrew], /ˈʃɪmən/ [Ashkenazi-Hebrew], /ʃimˈʕon/ (note: Sephardi Hebrew), /ʃimˈʕœn/ (note: Yemenite), /ʃimˈʕoːn/ [Tiberian-Hebrew] Audio: LL-Q9288 (heb)-YaronSh-שמעון.wav Forms: שִׁמְעוֹן [canonical], shim'ón [romanization]
Etymology: Traditionally derived from שָׁמַע (shamá', “to hear, listen”). Alternatively, Hitzig, W. R. Smith, Stade, and Kerber compare it to Arabic سِمع (“the offspring of the hyena and the female wolf”); as supports, Smith points to Arabic tribal names Simˤ "a subdivision of the defenders (the Medinites)" and Samˤān "a subdivision of Tamim".
