Salua is a feminine given name of Arabic origin, most commonly a Maghrebi/French transliteration of Salwā (سلوى). It stems from the Semitic root s-l-w, carrying the sense of comfort, solace, and sweet relief from sorrow; in Classical Arabic salwā also denotes the quail, referenced in the Qur’an as sustenance provided to the Children of Israel. These intertwined meanings give the name connotations of consolation, gentleness, and providence.

Used for centuries across the Arab world, the form Salua is especially seen in North African and Francophone contexts, while Salwa, Salwā, Saloua, and Selwa are parallel spellings in different scripts and diasporas. The name remains well established in the Levant and Maghreb and has traveled with migration to Europe and the Americas. Notable bearers include the Lebanese modernist artist Saloua Raouda Choucair and Princess Salwa Aga Khan. Variant spellings: Salua, Saloua, Salwa/Salwā, Selwa.
