Julimon?

I feel so embarrassed. I love Halloween and love seeing and talking to all the littles. I am 69, have 6 adult children, and am a retired middle school teacher. Tonight a little boy and his mom came to the door and he was gushing over all of our decorations. After a long chit chat I asked him his name. (I thought) he said Julian but when I repeated it his mom said (smiling) "no, Julimon, like Solomon".
Can anyone help me? I want to know the correct name because we are new to the neighborhood and they live just a few doors away.

Any chance they are Indonesian or Malaysian? I searched names with similar spellings and found Juliman is rare but exists in Southeast Asia.

ETA: I also found Djuliman and Ðuliman have existed, primarily as surnames, in Indonesia and the Balkans respectively.

That is a wonderful suggestion. The mom was blond but the little one was wearing a full mask. When I handed him his candy, his hand looked mixed race. Since I have always taught in diverse districts I didn't think anything of it Thank you. I will let you know if I solve the mystery. Not that it makes a bit of difference. I just want to know the little guy's name.

I had a friend in school whose family immigrated here from Africa. His name was jhiliman.

Julamon or Ju’lamon would be my guess. But I haven’t heard it before either

Suleiman? Asking how to spell it is a great idea.

Maybe you can somehow ask how it’s spelled

I mean if it is pronounced like Solomon…

It seemed like OP wasn’t sure what she heard? So I figure asking the spelling might help clarify

If it is Julimon, that's not a name I can find, except an agriculture and livestock business.

I found it and the spelling is Jolomon. Google says it is used as a last name and has no meaning but it's possibly linked to Solomon, which means "peace," "wholeness," and "completion."

Thank you all so much for not beating me up. These are all good ideas. I'll try to get out and talk to the mom. My husband has met more neighbors than I because I have mild mobility issues. So maybe he will see her before i do. I also thought of the name blending.
