I have recently discovered that King Solomon, from the Bible, had another name. The name given him by God, through Nathan the prophet, was Jedidiah. The etymology of Jedidiah breaks the word into two syllables, the first being Jedi. The meaning of the word Jedi is 'the love of God'. It's also fitting because Solomon is considered the wisest man in the bible, and the Jedi of the bible are apparently very wise.
