Why 'Semyon' specifically?

Answer

Semyon (the Russian version of Simon) was the first name of Dima's late grandfather who had a big part in raising him and his brother and instilling them with lifelong values they continue to treasure. Dima has chosen to change his name to signify his commitment to his new family with Sanaa while also maintaining a connection with his existing family by honoring his grandfather.
