Salomaun is Hebrew in Origin.
Salomaun is a rare medieval form of Solomon, reflecting Anglo-Norman and Breton orthography (the -aun ending marks a nasal vowel). It derives from Hebrew Šĕlōmōh, related to šālōm “peace,” yielding the sense “peaceful” or “man of peace.” The name entered the British Isles with Norman influence and appears in 12th–14th‑century charters and literary texts, favored for its association with King Solomon, emblem of wisdom and just rule. While widespread in medieval Christendom, this specific spelling is now antiquarian.
Variants include Solomon (English), Salomon (French/Medieval Latin), Salomo (Latin/German), Salomone (Italian), Solomón (Spanish), and Salamon (Hungarian); Breton keeps the related form Salaün/Salaun. Shlomo (Modern Hebrew) and Sulayman/Soliman (Arabic/Turkish) are cognates. A loose feminine counterpart is Salome. Today Salomaun surfaces rarely, appealing to parents seeking an authentic medieval flavor with the timeless meaning of peace and wisdom.
Salomaun does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
