Shlomo

Shlomo is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin. It is the Hebrew form of the name [[Solomon]].

The most prominent historical figure bearing this name was [[King Solomon]] of ancient [[Israel]]. According to the [[Hebrew Bible]] (specifically the books of [[1 Kings]] and [[2 Chronicles]]), as well as the [[Quran]], Solomon was the son of [[King David]], whom he succeeded as king. He is traditionally credited with building the [[First Temple]] in [[Jerusalem]]. His reign, typically dated to the 10th century BCE, is often depicted as a period of great peace, prosperity, and wisdom for Israel. Solomon is renowned for his wisdom, as exemplified in the biblical account of his judgment regarding the two mothers and their claim to a child, and for his extensive writings, traditionally including [[Proverbs]], [[Ecclesiastes]], and the [[Song of Songs]].

The name Shlomo is derived from the Hebrew root שלם (shalam), meaning "peace," "completeness," or "wholeness." The name therefore carries the connotation of peace or peaceful one.

The name remains in use today, primarily within Jewish communities.
