סימונה

Simona is an international feminine name with ancient Hebrew roots, representing the female form of the name Shimon (Simon). The name carries a profound meaning of "she who hears" or "listener," derived from the Hebrew verb "shama" which expresses listening, acceptance, and understanding. In Jewish culture, the concept of hearing refers not only to the physical perception of sound but to a spiritual depth of receiving a message, understanding meaning, and acting upon what is heard. The name Simona expresses qualities of attentiveness, sensitivity, and the ability to listen to others and to one's inner world. In biblical tradition, the root "shama" appears in central contexts, from the famous verse "Shema Yisrael" to stories of figures whose prayers were heard and answered. The name Shimon, to which Simona relates, was given to one of Jacob's sons, when his mother Leah said "because the Lord has heard that I am unloved" - an expression of gratitude that her prayer was heard. Thus, the name carries a message of hope, faith, and the feeling that there is someone who listens and watches over. Simona spread throughout Europe primarily through Christian and Catholic culture, where it is considered a sacred name connected to Saint Peter (Simon Peter), one of Jesus's central disciples. In Mediterranean cultures, especially in Italy, Spain, and Portugal, the name gained great popularity and became an elegant and valued feminine name. In modern Hebrew, Simona combines ancient tradition with an international atmosphere, and is perceived as a sophisticated, feminine name with a European touch. The name Simona grants its bearer a sense of depth, empathy, and the ability to understand others. These are particularly sought-after qualities in the modern world, where human communication and the ability to truly listen have become rare. Women named Simona are often perceived as having special sensitivity, strong intuition, and the ability to connect with others' inner worlds. The name also expresses quiet inner strength - not the strength of noise and movement, but the strength of presence, understanding, and support.
