A plural surname meaning 'sons of Simon,' or referring to multiple people named Simon.
From the Hebrew name Shim'on meaning 'he has heard,' through Greek Simon and Latin Simo. The patronymic 's' ending indicates 'son of' in English naming traditions, making Simons mean 'sons of the one who has heard.'
The name Simon appears throughout history from biblical apostles to modern celebrities, but adding that simple 's' transforms it from an individual identity to a family lineage. It's amazing how one letter can shift meaning from personal to generational!
