Salomon (surname)

Salomon is a surname. It originated as a derivative of the Aramaic biblical name Šlāmā (also transliterated as Šlomo), for which the conventional latinization has been Solomon or Salomon. As a surname, Salomon is common among Jews; it has been documented since the Middle Ages even among non-Jews in Western Europe.^{[citation needed]}

Derivatives may include Salmon, Salman and Salamon. The latter form is particularly common in Hungary, and should not be confused with the Venetian family of the same name.
