Meaning & Story

A Hebrew name meaning 'man of peace' — from the Hebrew 'shalom' (peace). Solomon is the name of the great king of Israel, renowned for his wisdom, and carries associations of depth, justice, and quiet authority.

Solomon is a name for a pet who seems to carry the weight of great knowledge and applies it generously to the household. He is the dog who has seen you through difficult times and never once judged you for them, who resolves disputes between the cats simply by lying down in the middle of the room. Solomon is deep and warm and endlessly patient. A name for a pet who is, by any measure, the wisest creature in the house.
