Historical References
"SYMON. A form of SIMON, which in the N. T. represents O. T. Simeon (and Symeon). The Hebrew is Shim'on, a name of doubtful meaning. Explained by some as meaning "offspring of hyena and wolf" (Encyclopaedia Biblica, TV, p. 4531), by others as from the verb shame hear. The N. T. form appears to be due to confusion with a Greek nickname, Simon flat-nosed. (2) It may also represent the common Old English (Anglo-Saxon) personal name Sigemund which later became Simon and Sumond. Symon, capellanus, witnessed a charter by William Bruce to Adam Carlyle, c. 1194-1214 ( (Annandale, i, p. 2), and Symon or Simon, archidiaconus of Aberdeen, was a charter witness, 1172, c. 1189-99 (RAA., i, p. 57). Symon filius Ade Leving, 1298 (Scon, p. 92). George Symon is recorded in the lordship of Huntly, 1600 (SCM., rv, p. 283), and John Symon in Cairnmore, parish of Glass, is recorded in 1743 (Moray). Symount 1605. "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
DNA
Sometimes you can run into a brick wall in your tree and you just don't have enough evidence to make that next step back in time. A DNA test can sometimes help to make a link to a particular family name if you find you share common DNA with people who have the same or similar surnames as each other. If you are lucky then you may get a match within a few generations and discover some Symon ancestors. Additionally, the modern DNA test can give you a breakdown of your ethnic mix - you may be surprised at the results!
