The earliest records of the SIMIONE surname can be found in various regions of Italy, including Tuscany, Lombardy, and Veneto. The name may have originated as a patronymic, meaning "son of Simone," or as a descriptive surname referring to someone with a particular physical or personality trait associated with Simon.

One of the earliest recorded examples of the SIMIONE surname dates back to the 13th century, when a Gio SIMIONE is mentioned in a document from the city of Florence in 1275. In the 14th century, a Francesco SIMIONE is recorded as a merchant in Venice, indicating the family's involvement in trade and commerce during that time.

The SIMIONE name has also been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. In the 16th century, Girolamo SIMIONE (1508-1557) was a renowned Italian architect and sculptor who worked on various projects in Venice, including the Church of San Giorgio Maggiore.
