Shimea 
The name Shimea is assigned four times in the Bible. The third son of Jesse is named (Shimea) in 1 Chr 2:13 but (Shimeah) in 1 Sam 13:3, 32; (Shammah) in 1 Sam 16:9, 17:13; and (Shimeah) in 2 Sam 21:21, which is spelled the same as the name Shimei but pronounced slightly different. A son of David is called (Shimea) in 1 Chr 3:5 but (Shammua) in 2 Sam 5:14. Two Levites named are mentioned in 1 Chr 6:30 and v 39. A Benjaminite named (Shimeah) is called in 9:38.
The name Shimea is derived from the verb (shama' 2412), to hear, listen, obey, and as such is closely related to the names Simeon and Ishmael. This verb is used over a thousand times in the Bible, often in the regular way of hearing something, but also in the sense of to obey someone, understand something or examine something. Derivations are: (shema' 2412a), sound; (shema' 2412b), report; (shoma' 2412c), news, fame; (shemu'a 2412d), news, rumor; (hashma'ut 2412e), communication; (mishma 2412f), rumor; (mishma'at 2412g), subject (obeyer), body guard.
The name Shimea means He Has Heard.
