Shelomo Origin and Meaning

The name Shelomo is a boy's name.

Shelomo is a masculine name representing the original Hebrew form of Solomon, meaning 'peace' or 'peaceful.' This version stays true to the name's ancient Semitic roots as it appears in the Hebrew Bible, where Shelomo (שְׁלֹמֹה) was the wise king of Israel, son of David. While less common than the anglicized Solomon, Shelomo offers a direct connection to Hebrew heritage and Jewish traditions. The name carries associations with wisdom, prosperity, and diplomatic leadership based on the biblical king's legendary reign. Primarily used in Jewish communities, particularly among more traditional or observant families, Shelomo provides a meaningful alternative for parents seeking a name with deep historical and religious significance while maintaining authentic Hebrew pronunciation.
