Salomon is a surname. It originated as a derivative of the Hebrew 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.
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.
