Where Does the Symmons Surname Come From?

Symmons is one more way Symons has been written over the centuries. The name is generally explained as “The son of Simon or Simeon (gracious hearing)”. Symmons adds “m” to Symons, a small change that crept in as the name was written down. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. The same family of names includes Symonds, Symon and Symond.
