Origin
Meaning and history of Solomona
The name Solomona has its origins in the Semitic languages, tracing back to ancient Hebrew and its variations in other Semitic tongues like Aramaic and Arabic. It is a feminine form derived from the masculine name Solomon, which means "peaceful" or "complete" in Hebrew.
The name Solomon itself has biblical roots and is associated with the wise and wealthy King Solomon, who ruled the ancient Kingdom of Israel around the 10th century BCE. He is revered in the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths for his legendary wisdom, wealth, and the construction of the First Temple in Jerusalem.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Solomona can be found in the Book of Judith, an ancient Jewish text written in the late 2nd century BCE or early 1st century BCE. In this work, Solomona is mentioned as the wife of Manasses, a prominent figure among the Israelites during the Babylonian captivity.
Throughout history, several notable women have borne the name Solomona. One such figure was Solomona Dracopoli (c. 1771-1847), a Greek scholar and philanthropist who founded several schools and educational institutions in her native Epirus region of modern-day Greece.
Another prominent Solomona was Solomona Reinach (1858-1932), a French archaeologist and historian of religion. She was a pioneering figure in the study of ancient Greek pottery and contributed significantly to the understanding of ancient Greek art and culture.
In the realm of literature, Solomona Savitskaya (1848-1924) was a Russian writer and playwright known for her works depicting the lives of women in 19th-century Russia. Her plays and novels shed light on the societal challenges faced by women during that era.
Solomona Halevy (1819-1892), an Israeli writer and educator, was a prominent figure in the Haskalah movement, which aimed to promote Jewish enlightenment and modernization. She wrote extensively on Jewish history and culture, contributing to the preservation of Jewish heritage.
Lastly, Solomona Malko (1879-1966), a Russian-born American artist, gained recognition for her vibrant paintings and illustrations inspired by her travels and experiences in various parts of the world, including the Middle East, Europe, and the United States.

FAQ
Solomona: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Solomona?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 10 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Solomona going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 34,275,434 US residents.
Is Solomona a common name?
We classify Solomona as "Very Rare". It ranks above 28.5% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 10 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Solomona most popular?
The single biggest year for Solomona was 2005, when 5 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Solomona is about 12 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Solomona in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Solomona a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Solomona in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Solomona still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Solomona in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Solomona can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
