When was "Song of Soloman" renamed to Song of Songs????? I'm shocked as I see this more and more. When did this change and why??

In my KJV it's called both
SONG OF SOLOMON 1
1 The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
Maybe more modern translations have mutated this further. I'm really not that familiar with the NIV or other modern Bibles.

It is still called song of Soloman in the authorized version of the Bible which is of course the King James

It's not an official change, they are both correct terms for the book. It is unlikely that Solomon wrote the entire book (if any at all) so song of songs is a more comprehensive names. Both are accepted though.

The original in hebrew is ShirHaShirim, shir, means song, and the name in hebrew its like song of songs, like saying is the greatest song ever made.
Was writen by salomon when he was young, talking about a romance he had, and the wises of israel had said its a metaphore about God and Israel.
So, song of songs its the correct name from the hebrew, but as it was composed by salomon, song of salomon its also right.

I didn't know it did. As long as it has the same info. I guess it doesn't matter too much.
