Etymology
Simenon is the family name of Belgian-born writer Georges Simenon, who is famous for his Inspector Maigret detective novels. The name looks like Simon with an added '-enon', so a helpful way to remember it is to think of 'Simon' with a small twist, and that's why Simenon usually means that author or his books.
