Shalom Hermon was born Friedrich "Fritz" Weisskopf in Breslau, Poland (a German city in Upper Silesia). He took the name Shalom, meaning "peace," and Hermon after Mount Hermon because Weisskopf, or "white head," was reminiscent of the snow-covered mountain.
In 1982, for his years of contribution to "Physical Education, Fitness, Science of Physical Education, Sport and Dance in Israel," he was given the Jewish Sports Hall of Fame Award by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
