ArchivesRe: Solomon
in reply to a message by Becca
The use of Solomon goes way back to the biblical times of the wise Jewish King Shlomoh (http://www.behindthename.com/php/search.php?terms=salamon&nmd=n&gender=both&operator=or)
As a sidenote, the national poet of Greece -- he wrote the words of the Greek national anthem in the 1800s-- is Dionyssis Solomos, who signed as Salomon. Most Greeks today (including myself up to very recently) are under the false impression that his name was actually related to "salmo", the latin word for salmon :)
