Solomon Grundy is a 19th century children's nursery rhyme, and was presented by James Orchard Halliwell in 1842. The DC comics character Solomon Grundy is named after it.
Solomon Grundy is believed to have derived from the English food Salmagundi, which was integrated into the English language from the French in the 17th century, and is a salad of cooked meats, lettuce, anchovies and eggs, with other condiments. The name of the salad was corrupted in the 18th century to Solomon Gundy, particularly in the United States.
