So named because of the Solomon Islands. These islands were discovered by the Spanish in 1568 who found signs of gold on Guadalcanal. The Spanish thought they had found 'King Solomon's Mines' and named the Islands accordingly

What was King Solomon's first name?

King Solomon was always King Solomon. His father was King David. God gave King Solomon the wisdom that he asked for, but no name change that I have ever read about. Actually, King Solomon was called by another name. He was given the name Solomon at birth, but was called Jedidiah by the Prophet Nathan as shown in the verses below. 2 Samuel 12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him. 2 Samuel 12:25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the prophet; and he called his name Jedidiah, because of the LORD.
