This name is generally understood to be a derivative of Simon; but it may have come from the Domesday name Simund, which is distinct from Simon. A family of Simmons who have been resident for three centuries and a half at Seaford, co. Sussex, have evidently corrupted their appellative from Seaman; and it has gone through the following phases since the year 1553:-Seman, Seaman, Seamans, Semons, Simons, Simonds, Simmonds, Symonds, Symmonds, and Simmons. The name Seman is of very frequent occurrence in the records of the Cinque Ports, and other places on the Kent and Sussex coast, in the XIII., XIV., and subsequent centuries. It has doubtless had many distinct origins from many an "ancient mariner" of that region. In the year 1294, the ship "De la Bochere," of Winchelsea, was commanded by Benedict Seman, who doubtless obtained his name from his occupation. See Cooper's Winchelsea, p. 55.
A corruption of Simeon or Simon.
