Soloman, derived from the Hebrew name Shlomo, means 'peace'. It is of historic significance, as it was borne by several prominent figures in Jewish history, most notably King Solomon, son of King David. The name has been popular among various cultures throughout time, with notable bearers including Soloman Butcher, an American politician, and Soloman Linda, a South African musician.
The name Solomon experienced a significant rise in popularity from the late 1800s to the mid-1900s, with a notable peak occurring between 1917 and 1922. During this period, there were consistently high numbers of births, ranging from 17 to 29 per year. However, the popularity of the name has since declined, with fewer than 25 births per year recorded in recent years. Despite this decline, Solomon remains a classic name with a rich historical presence.
