Solomon is a masculine given name and surname of Hebrew origin, popularized by the biblical figure Solomon, Israelite monarch and son of David. The name is derived from the Latin Solomōn, borrowed from the Ancient Greek Solomṓn (Σολομών), ultimately from the Hebrew Šĕlōmō (שְׁלֹמֹה). It is derived from the Semitic root Š-L-M (ש-ל-ם), which translates to "whole, complete" which is also the basis of the word Shalom (שָׁלוֹם, lit.'peace').[1]
