Tour Scotland photograph of the Captain David Salmon gravestone in the Howff graveyard cemetery in Dundee, Scotland. A Dundee shipmaster who died aged 61 in 1847. Also his wife Agnes Stevenson who died aged 71.
The Salmon name is of early medieval English origin, and derives from the Middle English and Old French given name " Salmon " or " Saumon ", a contracted form of Salomon. The ultimate origin of the personal name is from the Hebrew male given name " Shelomo ", a derivative of " shalom ", peace. Salomon and its variant forms was a popular given name among Christians and Jews during the Middle Ages; it is recorded as " Salomon " in the Domesday Book of 1086, and one " Salamon clericus " is recorded in Suffolk, England, in 1121.
