Maybe you didn't see my post: "After the Akeidah,
Abraham called it Yireh"
We learn from a Midrash:
"The original name of the place was Shalem - the
name given it by
Shem, son of Noah - whom the sages identify with
Malchitzedek, king
of Jerusalem. After the Akeidah, Abraham called it
Yireh. In
deference to both Shem and Abraham, G-d synthesized
both names and
called it Yerushalayim"
Shoshanna
