Etymology / Origin
- Simon is a masculine given name derived from the Hebrew name Shimʿon, meaning “he has heard.” It entered Western usage through Greek (Σίμων) and Latin (Simon) forms and has been common across European languages.
- Friedli is a surname of Swiss‑German origin. It is a diminutive or patronymic form derived from the personal name Fried, itself a short form of Friedrich (German for “peaceful ruler,” from frid “peace” + rihhi “ruler”). The suffix ‑li is typical of Alemannic dialects, indicating “little” or “descendant of.” The name is most prevalent in the German‑speaking cantons of Switzerland.
