Solomon
Biblical wisdom exemplar
Solomon is a Hebrew name meaning "peaceful," borne by the biblical king of Israel renowned for wisdom.
The judgment of Solomon—threatening to split a disputed baby in half to reveal the true mother—made his name synonymous with wise decision-making: We need a Solomon to settle this dispute.
A Solomon is anyone showing exceptional wisdom or discernment.
