Simon

Σίμων; [6 verses](Hebrew Name)The Greek letters for the name Simon.  In Greek, it means (noun sg masc nom/voc) "a confederate in evil," (part sg pres act masc nom/voc) "turning up a nose," ( adj pl masc gen) "snub-nosed," and ( noun pl masc gen) "flat-no (proper noun)  -- "Simon" is assumed to be a Hebrew name. Strangely enough, the word also has a meaning in Greek, it is a verb that means "turning up a nose" and this form could also be the noun, "flat nose" or adjective, "snub-nosed." It also means, interestingly, "a confederate in evil."  The name only appears in the New Testament, where twelve different people have this name. This is interesting given that everyone there would recognized the word's Greek meaning. There is also something very entertaining about a man named "Flat-nose" being renamed "Rocky."
