What is the meaning of the name Salom ?

The baby name Salom is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced sah-LOHM (/səˈloʊm/),SAL-əm (/ˈsæləm/).

Salom is Hebrew in Origin.

Salom is a cross-cultural name from the Semitic Š‑L‑M root meaning “peace, wholeness.” It can reflect Hebrew Shalom, a given name and blessing, or serve as a regional spelling of Solomon (Hebrew Shelomoh, “peaceful”). In Hispanic and Catalan contexts Salom appears as a surname and occasional given name related to Salomón/Solomon. In Central Asian languages influenced by Persian and Arabic, salom is the everyday greeting (“peace”), which has encouraged limited given-name use. The name is used for all genders, though masculine is most common.

Attested sporadically in medieval Iberia and in Jewish communities, Salom remains rare yet recognizable through Solomon and the feminine Salome/Salomé (not the same form, but from the same root). Variants and related forms include Shalom, Sholom/Sholem/Shulem, Shlomo, Solomon, Salomo, Salomón; feminine counterparts are Salome and Salomé. Diminutives include Sol and Salo.
