Comments for the name Solomon

'Solomon' can also be used as a surname. In fact, my great-grandmother's maiden name was Solomon.

Solomon was the wisest man (and the richest) to ever walk the earth.

It's derived from the Hebrew name ùîòåï.

Steve Solomon was a locally famous vegetable garden writer in Washington and Oregon. He now lives in Tasmania.

Love the meaning, and since I found an ancestor named this, I'm now considering using it!

Solomon, King David's son in the Bible, wrote the famous book, "song of songs" or "song of Solomon." He was one of the most AWESOME guys ever!

Solomon Olds, a.k.a. "Soul Glo Activatur," is a member of the band Family Force Five.

Solomon is the lead singer's name for Family Force 5. I like this name, but I never hear of lots of people with this name. That's great. It's one of those names that's only good on a few people. I hope people keep it that way.

Cute nickname is "Sol".

I hate this as a first name. It sounds very surname-y to me, and quite pompous as a first name.

I love this name! I think it is strong and handsome, and it sounds intelligent. My husband and I named our son, born in May '08, Solomon.

Solomon Perel wrote "Hitlerjunge Salomon," an autobiographical book about how he hid his Jewish heritage and pretended to be Aryan during the second world war in order to stay safe. The book was made into the movie "Europa, Europa."

This is the name of the lead singer of the band Family Force 5 but he goes by Soul Glow Activatur professionally.

I like it. It reminds me of the line from The Fiddler on the Roof song "If I Were a Rich Man":

"The most important men in town would come to fawn on me!
They would ask me to advise them,
Like a Solomon the Wise."

I find the name very handsome, but now that I think about it the only reason I think I really liked it for was, because of Solomon of blood+, I saw him as a very dashing, worthy man of his word. So if I had not seen it as a somewhat old time gentleman name I may not have ever liked it. But I like it now so I suppose I would most definitely recommend this name if you are into the civil war kind of gentleman name.

Maybe it's okay on a Hasidic Jew.

The biblical Solomon turned away from God because he had hundreds of pagan wives and ending up worshipping their gods instead of Jehovah.

However, he did many other things (good things) with his life- so I still like this name. Sol is a good nickname.

Solomon Jones is an American basketball player.
