What is the meaning of the name Solomon ?

The baby name Solomon is a boy name , 3 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈsɒləmən/.

Solomon is Greek, Hebrew, Latin in Origin.

Solomon is the English form of Hebrew Šĕlōmō (שְׁלֹמֹה), transmitted through Greek Solomṓn and Latin Solomōn. Its base is the Northwest Semitic root Š-L-M, whose Hebrew verb šālem denotes being whole or complete and whose noun šālōm denotes peace, welfare, and completeness; the name is usually interpreted as peaceful or peaceable.

Biblical narrative attaches the name to the son of David and Bathsheba, the Israelite king associated with wisdom, temple building, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and the Song of Songs. In Jewish communities it remained familiar beside Hebrew Shlomo and Yiddish Zalman, while Christian Europe used it more sparingly; King Solomon of Hungary is a notable medieval bearer. Islamic tradition preserves cognate forms such as Sulayman and Turkish Süleyman, and modern English keeps Solomon recognizable as both a given name and surname.
