Simon means “hearing” or “listening”, the name of an apostle; the 7 at its core favours thoughtful depth.

Turning down invitations one by one, until none arrive.
Simon is the New Testament Greek form of the Hebrew Shimon, “hearing, listening”, from shama, “to hear”.
In many translations of the Old Testament the same name appears as Simeon, borne by the second son of Jacob. The New Testament has several Simons, among them Simon of Cyrene and above all the apostle Simon, also called Peter. The apostle’s renown made the name common among Christians, though a distinct Greek name Simon exists as well.
Five letters, a sum of 25, and a 7 at the end: the number of questions.
A Simon often reads the manual before switching on the machine, checks his sources and prefers one long, serious conversation to several quick ones. Careful listening seems fitting for a name with that meaning, and friends tend to confide in him, trusting that nothing will be repeated lightly.
I and O, the vowels, make 6, which means care: he wants his home to be harmonious and his loved ones to be well. S, M and N make 1, so what he does is independent and direct. Once a matter is thought through, he moves without waiting for permission.
S, also a 1, starts the name for a confident first impression. His first vowel I, a 9, gives a generous, open reaction to something unexpected.
Reflection, care and independence form a quietly strong combination. Further numbers wait in the family name and the date of birth.

They go back to the same Hebrew name, Shimon. Simeon follows the Greek spelling used for the second son of Jacob in many Old Testament translations, while Simon is the New Testament form, used for the apostle. The spellings differ, so the numbers differ too.
