Reply to: Shimon's feminine form by Claire
Hi, Claire!

I don't think there is. Nothing like it in the bible. But I found something else:

SHIMONITH (or SHIMONIT) which seems to be used as a given name. The websites I found it on appeared to be Albanian (!) but check that for yourself. In the bible you will find the word "shimoni" as a patronym meaning "belonging to the tribe of Simon". The feminine form (not found in the bible) would be SHIMONITH just like JUDITH (YEHUDITH) is feminine of YEHUDI.
