History and Origin
Solomon is a Hebrew-derived surname and given name; Sol as a given name is usually a form of "Solomon". Its Hebrew form, Shlomo שלמה is related to the word shalom ("peace"); and is often chosen in part as a reference to the well-known King Solomon mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. (The Arabic name سليمان, Suleiman or Sulayman, also meaning "peace", is regarded as equivalent to Solomon, and the Koranic prophet Suleiman and King Solomon are generally regarded as accounts of the same person.)
The following are usually identified a "Solomon" without qualification by a surname:
- Solomon the Eunuch, associate of Byzantine general Belisarius
- Solomon of Montpellier, 13th century Rabbi
- Solomon, the professional name of the British pianist Solomon Cutner (1902–1988)
Biblical: name (Hebrew Shlomo, derived from shalom peace) of a king of Israel, son of David and Bathsheba, who was legendary for his wisdom (2 Samuel 12–24; 1 Kings 1–11; 2 Chronicles 1–9). The books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes were ascribed to him, and the Song of Solomon, otherwise known as the Song of Songs, bears his name. It has been sporadically used among Gentiles since the Middle Ages, often by parents who wished wisdom for their child, but is still largely a Jewish name.
Other forms: Jewish: Shlomo (Hebrew); Zalman (Yiddish). Gaelic: Solamh.
Short form: Sol.
