The Belarusian form of Szymon, from Hebrew Shim'on, "God has heard": a record of a prayer that was answered, not a description of the child. Barely 200 men in Poland carry it, so most Poles have never met one.

What Siamion means
Where Siamion comes from and what it has meant to the people who carry it.
Siamion comes from Hebrew, from the old name Shim'on, built on the verb meaning to hear. The sense it carried was "God has heard," the record of a prayer that reached its listener. Siamion is the Belarusian form, close kin to the Polish Szymon and the Latin Simon.
The meaning has held. In Polish it reads "bóg wysłuchał," a plain statement that someone was heard. The word does not describe the child. It reports something that already happened, a moment of answer rather than a quality of the person who wears it.
Picture a school register in a Belarusian town, Siamion written in the first column, ordinary and unremarked. No one reading the list pauses over it. The Hebrew root sits under it still. God has heard.
