The consensus position
Mainstream comparative linguistics derives Shlomo from the Hebrew triliteral root š-l-m "be whole, complete, at peace", the same root as šālōm, with a suffix variously read as "his peace", a hypocoristic ending, or an adjectival formation. It is treated as Northwest Semitic in origin with cognates in Akkadian, Ugaritic, Phoenician and Arabic, and no relation to Bantu is proposed.
