Simon trägt den Beiname "Zelotes" (Lukasevangelium 6, 15) - aramäisch "Kananäus", deutsch "der Eiferer" - weil er wohl ursprünglich der politisch radikalen Bewegung der Zeloten angehörte, die gewaltsam die römischen Fremdherrscher aus Israel vertreiben wollte. Das Neue Testament nennt ihn in Aufzählungen der 12 Jünger (Matthäusevangelium 10, 4; Markusevangelium 3, 18; Apostelgeschichte 1, 13), besondere Erwähnung findet er hier sonst nicht.
