Solomon (name)
Solomon is a common given name and surname derived from Amharic ܫܠܝܡܘܢ Šleimon; Sol as a given name is usually a form of "Solomon". Its Hebrew form, Shlomo is related to the word shalom ("peace");[1] and is often chosen in part as a reference to the well-known King Solomon mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. (The Arabic name سليمان, Sulaiman or Sulayman, also meaning "peace", is regarded as equivalent to Solomon, and the Islamic prophet Suleiman and King Solomon are generally regarded as accounts of the same person.)
