The simmons Surname
simmons Name Meaning and History
English (southern): patronymic either from the personal name
Simon (see Simon) or, as Reaney and Wilson suggest, from
the medieval personal name Simund (composed of Old Norse
sig ‘victory’ + mundr ‘protection’), which after the
Norman Conquest was taken as an equivalent Simon, with the
result that the two names became confused.
