From Euskera seme (youngest son) + no (diminutive) > semeno.

In Aragon, the se- became xi- (like /she/ in English) and gave name to Ximena family, kings of Aragon.

In Catalonia, an e- was added before xi- and the -o disappeared because it is a strange trailing phoneme in Catalan but the most common form was, in Catalan, Aragonese, and Castilian, Gimeno after the xi- became gi- (like /ji/ in jingle).

Gimeno Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

From Euskera seme (youngest son) + no (diminutive) > semeno.

In Aragon, the se- became xi- (like /she/ in English) and gave name to Ximena family, kings of Aragon.

In Catalonia, an e- was added before xi- and the -o disappeared because it is a strange trailing phoneme in Catalan but the most common form was, in Catalan, Aragonese, and Castilian, Gimeno after the xi- became gi- (like /ji/ in jingle).

Later, when Castilian Spanish took the J with the sound of /kh/ (like Khartoum), the common pronounciation is /khi man ough/, although it can be pronounced /ji man ough/.
