1. Simeon (proper noun) — The Hebrew name Simeon (Συμεών), used in the NT for multiple individuals: (1) Simeon who blessed the infant Jesus in the temple (Lk 2:25, 34), (2) Simeon called Niger in the Antioch church (Acts 13:1), (3) Simon Peter referred to by his Hebrew name (Acts 15:14; 2 Pet 1:1), and (4) Simeon son of Jacob in the genealogy (Rev 7:7). All 7 occurrences are the same indeclinable proper noun in different case functions (nominative, genitive). Multilingual forms confirm unity: Spanish 'Symeṓn/Symeón' is consistent; Hindi 'शमौन/शिमौन/शिमोन' are phonetic variants of the same name; Arabic 'سَمْعَانُ/سِمعانُ/شِمعونَ' reflect dialectal pronunciation differences; Korean '시메온/시므온' are transliteration variants; Swahili 'Sumeṓn/Simeoni/Simoni' are all adaptations of the same Hebrew name. These clusters are purely case-form splits of one proper noun. 7×
