Etymology

SOLOMON is the name of a king of ISRAEL mentioned five times in the Book of Mormon but not mentioned as a separate PN or GN in the Book of Mormon.

Hebrew שלמה šĕlōmô “His-replacement” (from Hebrew שלם šillēm “make compensation”), as in the PN Shillem (Genesis 46:24, Numbers 26:49); cf. Late Babylonian ši-il-li-mu “loan; he has paid.” The folk-etymology is that Yahweh/Jehovah “will give peace (שלום šālôm) to Israel in his days” (1 Chronicles 22:9).

See SHIBLUM/ SHILUM/ SHILLUM, SHILOM.
