Origin of Simoleon
Origin 1: Most likely a late-19th-century blend of simon (“dollar”), from simon (“sixpence coin”) (17th-century British slang, perhaps related to simony?), and Napoleon (“French gold coin worth 20 francs, bearing the image of Napoleon III”). Perhaps from New Orleans.
Origin 2: The gaming sense may have been chosen for its similarity to Sim.
