Meaning & Origin
A Jewish male given name from Hebrew, feminine equivalent Shulamith, equivalent to English Solomon.
Shlomo is a boy's baby name of Hebrew origin, the Hebrew and Yiddish form of Solomon, from the Hebrew Shlomoh meaning "peaceful" or "his peace," from the root shalom. In the Bible, Shlomo (Solomon) was the wisest of all the kings of Israel, builder of the First Temple.
Shlomo is used within Orthodox and Hasidic Jewish communities as the authentic Hebrew form of Solomon. The name carries all the legendary wisdom and creative achievement of the great biblical king in its traditional, unassimilated form — a name of profound cultural continuity.
