Shelummiel is Hebrew in Origin.

Shelummiel is a biblical Hebrew masculine name, from the elements shalom (“peace, wholeness”) and El (“God”), typically interpreted as “peace of God” or “God is my peace.” The underlying Hebrew form is Shelumiel/Shĕlumîʾēl (שְׁלֻמִיאֵל), and the root links it to names like Shalom and Shelomo (Solomon). Some scholars gloss it as “at peace with God,” preserving the same semantic field.

In the Hebrew Bible, Shelummiel son of Zurishaddai appears in the Book of Numbers as leader of the tribe of Simeon during the wilderness encampment and dedication offerings, giving the name a strong tribal-leadership association. Post-biblical usage has been very rare, though it surfaced sporadically among Puritans and in Jewish communities. Variants and transliterations include Shelumiel, Shelummiel, Shelumiel, and Shlumiel; note that Yiddish shlemiel, meaning a hapless person, is a later folk usage unrelated to the name’s favorable biblical sense.
