my last name is solomon and i want to know where the name came from
Is solomon a hebrew name or a jewish name?
Hebrew.
Hebrews are a people, Jews the followers of a religion.
A 'Jewish' name could thus apply to any number of ethnicities.
Reply:The origin of "Solomon" is "Shlomoh", which is a Hebrew name.
Because "Solomon" is a romanization of that name, you could consider it "Jewish" with Hebrew origin.
Reply:Solomon is a Hebrew based name (Shlomo in Hebrew) which means peace.
Reply:King Solomon in scripture, was a Hebrew Jewish King as were his parents. Therefore, it is both.
Reply:it's a jewish hebrew name, spelled with the american alaphbet.
Reply:Hebrew. Some Jewish people (mainly) speak Hebrew, so it's kind of the same. God Bless!
