I think you mean instead King Solomon's Mines? Or King Solomon's Temple? Or King Solomon's altar?

The only reference I know of that's a Sliman is the following:
Sliman is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from the baptismal name Soloman, an ancient font name. Patronymic surnames arose out of the vernacular and religious given name traditions.The vernacular or regional naming tradition is the oldest and most pervasive type of patronymic surname. In the religious naming tradition, which was developed later than the vernacular tradition, surnames were bestowed in honor of religious figures or church officials. In Europe, the Christian Church was one of the most powerful influences on the formation of given names. Personal names derived from the names of saints, apostles, biblical figures, and missionaries are widespread in most European countries. In the Middle Ages, they became increasingly popular because people believed that the souls of the deceased continued to be involved in this world. They named their children after saints in the hope that the child would be blessed or protected by the saint.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Sleeman, Slimon, Slimmon, Slimmen, Sleman, Slemon and many more.
