Real-world considerations
- Spelling note: Salomon.
- The traditional "peace" etymology from Hebrew shalom is well established and the most widely cited, but a 2023 academic source notes additional, less mainstream scholarly theories (a "substitute/compensation" reading, or a link to the deified evening star Shalim) that are not resolved as definitively correct or incorrect in the sources consulted.
