Simon (given Name)
Simon is a common name, from Hebrew שִׁמְעוֹן '' Šimʻôn'', meaning "listen" or "hearing". It is also a classical Greek name, deriving from an adjective meaning "flat-nosed". In the first century AD, Simon was the most popular male name for Jews in Roman Judea. The Hebrew name is Hellenised as ''Symeon'' ( grc-gre, Συμεών) in the Septuagint, and in the New Testament as both Symeon in Strong's Concordance and, according to most authorities, Simon. Some commentators on the New Testament say that it could be a Hellenised form of the Hebrew ''Shim'on'', but if not then it indicates that Peter came from a " Hellenistic background"; this was not unheard of in this era, as contemporary Jews such as Andrew the Apostle (Simon's brother) sometimes bore originally Greek names. ''Simon'' is one Latinised version of the name, the others being ''Simeon'' or ''Symeon''. This practice carried over into English: in the King James Version, the name Simeon Niger is spelt ''Simeon'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Simen Mountains
The Simien Mountains ( Amharic: ስሜን ተራራ or Səmen; also spelled Simen and Semien), in northern Ethiopia, north east of Gondar in Amhara region, are part of the Ethiopian Highlands.

Notable animals in the mountains include the walia ibex, gelada, and caracal. There are a few Ethiopian wolves. Etymology Although the word ''Semien'' means "nort ...
