You reminded me! I've know two people named Simian-- a WASP girl who spelled it just like that, and a black boy spelled Simeon.
Simeon is a Hebrew name, and biblical - "he has heard.".
Ok, but in English it means monkey! Or rather, primate. To refer to someone as having "simian" features means they look like a monkey. There are lots of beautiful words in other languages that mean something entirely different in other languages. And that disqualifies them as names, in my book, if you have any connection at all to the language that carries the other meaning.
