There are a great many references on various websites stating that the name of the ancient King Solomon comprises three syllables, all meaning Sun. Now of course his name was given in Hebrew, but it is possible that it was chosen with regard for esoteric meaning by his father David, who foresaw that the eldest son Absalom would never be king, and that Solomon was destined to be a great and wise leader, as recorded in what turns out to be the most comprehensive ancient book we have.

Here is how the name Solomon is said to be constructed in English: SOL-OM-ON, Sol is Latin for the Sun, Om is Hindi Sanskrit for the Sun, and On means Sun in Egyptian.

According to Gnostics, SOL-OM-ON is the threefold androgynous Spiritual Sun, called the Holy Trinity. All aspects or divisions in three originating in any religious or esoteric teachings are said to be due to the threefold constitution of Cosmos.

SOL - solar aspect of the newly risen Sun - on the East
OM - the Sun shining on zenith, the highest point on horizon (the South)
ON - the diminishing Sun, sunset on the West

If this theory is correct, Solomon is to be counted among the many great and legendary “Sun Kings.” Furthermore, due to different dating methods having been used by ancient cultures, some contend that if applying the Sothic cycle, it could be that Solomon actually lived in the same period as the Sun King Akhenaten in Egypt[i]. An interesting possibility to contemplate!
