There is a tradition that Luke was a Syrian from Antioch. If this is so, he may well have used the Syriac form of the name and copyists changed it to the Hebrew form to agree with Matthew 1:4-5 and the Old Testament spelling. "Salman" is a variant spelling of "Salmon" in Old Testament Greek manuscripts.
