History & Origin

The name carries the meaning 'peace' and reaches French through the long line of forms tied to the biblical king Solomon. In French it settles into the spelling Salomon, while related languages reshape the same root into very different sounds, from the Vietnamese Sa-lô-môn to the Arabic-influenced Sulaiman and Sulejman.

It has a soft, three-beat rhythm that feels formal without being stiff. Footballer Salomon Kalou (born 1985) is one bearer who has kept the French spelling in public view.

Did you know? Salomon appears in the Old Testament, which helped preserve it across centuries of Jewish and Christian naming traditions.
