Sulaiman is a male name of Arabic origin, meaning "Peace." It is an English transliteration of the Arabic name سليمان and corresponds to the Hebrew name Shlomoh and the English name Solomon. In Arabic culture, Sulaiman symbolizes peace and tranquility. The name is associated with the scriptural figure King Solomon, who was a revered prophet in Islam and ruled the United Kingdom of Israel around 970–931 BCE. Notable individuals with the name Sulaiman include historical and contemporary figures from various fields, such as politics, business, sports, and literature. The name has a rich historical and cultural significance and is widely used in Arabic-speaking regions. Sulaiman also holds relevance in Islamic and Jewish traditions.
Sultan Sulaiman Syah, who reigned in Aceh in northern Sumatra, was the twenty-seventh sultan of the region. He seized power from the ruling House of Royal Buginese Wajoq-Aceh in May–July 1773, following a period of internal unrest and opposition to the previous sultan, Alauddin Mahmud Syah I. Sultan Sulaiman Syah's ascension to the throne was marked by a brief reign of two months, during which he faced opposition from supporters of Alauddin Mahmud Syah. Ultimately, he was expelled and Alauddin Mahmud Syah was reinstated. There is uncertainty surrounding Sultan Sulaiman Syah's identity, as he may have been the same person as Raja Udahna Lela, the son of the previous usurper, Badr ul-Alam Syah. If this is true, he would later play a significant role in the sultanate's history, eventually meeting a dramatic fate in 1805. These events are chronicled in historical literature and provide valuable insights into the complex history of the Aceh sultanate.
