Semaan
Semaan (Syriac Aramaic: ܫܡܥܘܢ ; Arabic: سمعان, ''Semʻān'') (also spelled Sem'an, Semán, Simaan, Sim'an, Samaan, Sam'an) is one of the oldest Christian surnames in existence and is mainly found in the Levant area of the Middle East. It is derived from the Semitic root word/verb ''sema'' or ''shema'', which means “to hear”; thus, the meaning of ''Semaan'' becomes “the one who hears or listens” in both Syriac Aramaic and Arabic. Its equivalent in Hebrew is שִׁמְעוֹן (''Shimon'' or ''Shim'on''), which also has the same meaning. The Greek transliteration is Σιμων (''Simon'') or Συμεών (''Symeon''), and, when Latinized, it becomes ''Simon'' or ''Simeon''.
In the Middle East today, the overwhelming majority of people who hold the Semaan surname is Christian that belongs to early Christian churches such as the Syriac Orthodox Church, the Greek Orthodox Church of Antioch, the Melkite Greek Catholic Church of Antioch, the Maronite Catholic Church, the Chaldean Catholic Church, the Assyrian Orthodox Church, and the Coptic Orthodox Church. The ethnic origin of Semaan families varies by geographic location, most prevalent of which is Greek-Syrian, descendants of the Byzantine Greek (Rûm) population of the Syrian tetrapolis (Antioch, Seleucia Pieria, Apamea, and Laodicea).
