Meaning and background
The story behind Simone
Simone has at least two established European uses that differ by language. It is a feminine form of Simon in French and English, but an Italian masculine form of Simon. Those are not contradictory records; they reflect separate naming conventions. Without a language context, the safest editorial description includes both, rather than assigning an exclusive gender or pronunciation.
- Origin
- French feminine form of Simon; separately, an Italian masculine form of Simon. Source
