Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H8095: שִׁמְעוֹן (Shim'on) - Simeon, the second son of Jacob and Leah. Usage: The name "Simeon" means "hearing" or "God has heard."

Cultural and Historical Background: The name Simeon is rooted in Jewish tradition, originating from one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after the second son of Jacob and Leah. In the New Testament context, the name reflects the Jewish heritage and the continuity of God's promises from the Old Testament to the New Testament era. Simeon in the temple represents the faithful remnant of Israel awaiting the Messiah, while Simeon of Antioch signifies the early church's diversity and mission.
