Symone

Girl name · 14 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Symone: 14 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 4 births in 1992.

Symone, a modern feminine variant of Simone, traces its roots to the Hebrew Shimon, meaning "he has heard." This stylish spelling gained prominence through noted bearers such as Symone Sanders, a political strategist who served as Bernie Sanders' national press secretary, and Symone, the drag queen and winner of RuPaul's Drag Race season 13, whose stage name became a household name. While no place is directly named after Symone, the root name Simon lends itself to localities like Simon's Town in South Africa. The name's French-flavoured ending gives it a cosmopolitan edge, and it saw a modest uptick in popularity across English-speaking countries in the 1990s as an alternative to the more traditional Simone.
