Shelomo is Hebrew in Origin.

Shelomo is the scholarly transliteration of the Biblical Hebrew name Šĕlōmōh (שלמה), built from the Semitic root š‑l‑m meaning peace, wholeness, and harmony. Its standard English equivalent is Solomon, while Modern Hebrew typically writes and pronounces Shlomo. The name is often glossed as peaceful or his peace. Related forms include Salomon (French, German, Scandinavian), Salomón (Spanish), Salomone (Italian), Solomão (Portuguese), Salomo (Dutch, Finnish), and the cognate Arabic/Turkish Sulayman/Süleyman. Jewish variants and diminutives include Shlomi, the Yiddish Shloime/Shloyme, and the Yiddish-German form Zalman; regional spellings such as Salamon also occur.

Borne by the biblical King Solomon, son of David and builder of the First Temple, the name gained prestige across Jewish, Christian, and Islamic cultures. In medieval and early modern Europe Solomon was used among scholars and, later, by English Puritans. Within Jewish communities Shlomo remained frequent; today Shelomo appears in formal or liturgical contexts, while Shlomo dominates everyday Israeli use.
