Cowell, Paul[edit]

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)[reply]

?[edit]

"In the Bible", "On American Idol"

O...K......

German WP[edit]

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[edit]

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)[reply]

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

Simon the High Priest[edit]

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

Simon, Samuel[edit]

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

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.
