Simon could be considered a variant of 'Simeon'. It usually means to hear, to listen, or to obey. It can also mean 'snub-nosed'.
means he who hears, listener
Simeon roughly mean "he has heard"
Simeon, who saw the baby Jesus, was neither an apostle or disciple. He was a prophet and teacher. Simon Peter was also referred to as Simeon, in which case he was both an apostle and disciple.
Simeon and Anna were in the Temple at Jerusalem.
Simeon was the man who was allowed to see the Messiah before he (Simeon) died. (Luke 2:25-33)
The Bible does not record a single detail of what happened in this time.
The passage in which Simeon blessed the baby Jesus and prophesied great things was an opportunity to prove to the readers of Luke's Gospel that Jesus was indeed the son of God. For some reason, Simeon, alone of all people, had been promised that he would not die before he saw the Lord's Anointed (Christ). Simeon recognised Jesus as the Christ as soon as he saw him, and blessed the young family. The author of Luke often used repetition to ensure certainty among his readers, so the story of Simeon was immediately followed by the story of Anna the prophetess.
