Why was Solomon not called Jedidiah?

Solomon was indeed given the name Jedidiah by the prophet Nathan as a sign of God's love for him, meaning "beloved of the Lord." However, the name Solomon, which means "peace," became more widely recognized and used. This name reflected his future role as a king who would bring peace to Israel, particularly during his reign, which is often characterized by stability and prosperity. Thus, while Jedidiah was a significant name, Solomon ultimately became the name associated with his legacy as a ruler.
