From Middle Korean 심바ᇰ (Yale: sìmpàng, “priest, shaman”), but apparently contaminated by Sino-Korean 僧 (seung, “Buddhist priest”) due to syncretism between indigenous Korean religion and Buddhism. Doublet of 심방 (simbang).

- (originally southeastern Gyeongsang, southern Jeolla dialect) a priestess of Korean folk religion from the southern coastline of the peninsula
