Talk:Simone
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Spanish "Jimeno" most likely comes from Basque "seme" (='son')
Please leave the "Partridge Family's dog reference alone. "Simone" was the dog's name, and it is a reference in popular culture, hardly "vandalism". Thank you! —Preceding unsigned comment added by ShirleyPartridge (talk • contribs) 10:00, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Listing of people named Simone
It appears that the list of people contains Italian males named Simone, which is equivalent to the English Simon. The list also excludes all Italian and Slovenian women named Simona, which redirects to this article. Either this article should be about the feminine form of Simon, in which case all feminine form equivalents should be included, and all masculine forms excluded; or this should be about the term Simone, and its use as a feminine or masucline form, so that all redirects to this article (say Simona) should become separate articles.

- I just perused the list again, and it appears I missed two entries of people named "Simona". There are many others, though. Mindmatrix 23:29, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Simona
Simona is not the Italian form of "Simone." And Simona is not exclusively an Italian name. Both Simone and Simona are different versions of the name "Shimona," the female form of "Shimeon," which is Hebrew for "Hearkening," aka "He who listens." The name "Simone" may be French, but the name Simona is used in the Czech Republic, Romania, Croatia and Serbia, as well as in Italy. Many baby naming sites will confirm what I have just written.
