Sulayman is the Arabic form of Solomon, a Hebrew name that means "peace" or "peaceful". In the Quran, Sulayman is a prophet-king who understands the language of birds, and the Ottoman sultan Suleiman the Magnificent made the name famous in the West. Among American Muslim families Sulayman has risen from number 4387 in 2015 to number 2300 in 2025, its highest US rank yet.
