an addition:
in Polish, Simon (the original name of Petrus) is spelled Szymon or Szymek.
The Russian Semyon instead is a different saint - the orthodox Simeon. 
The name SCHEMIONEK seems to derive from this Russian name which is 
pronounced Sjemion, and may be the result of a mixture of the Polish and 
Russian writing.
