Simone (given name)
Simone is a given name that can be used for males or females. Derived from the Hebrew name Shimon, the name came into regular usage across European cultures thanks to the popularity of Christianity in Europe and the Biblical character Simeon. Depending on the language, Simone may be used as a masculine or feminine name. In Italian, Simone is a masculine name, pronounced with three syllables, as see-MO-ne, and its feminine form is Simona. In French and English, Simone is a feminine name, pronounced with two syllables, either as SEE-MAWN or sə-MON, and its masculine form in both languages is Simon. Additionally, Simone, as a girl's name, may be spelled Simonne outside of France and people of Italian heritage may bear Simone as a patronymic surname.
