The baby name Shlomi is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced shloh-MEE (Hebrew: /ʃloˈmi/, English approximation: SHLOH-mee).

Shlomi is Hebrew in Origin.

Shlomi (Hebrew: שלומי) stems from the Semitic root sh-l-m, denoting peace, wholeness, and completion. As a standalone Hebrew name it can be read literally as “my peace,” while in everyday Israeli usage it also functions as a familiar form of Shlomo (Shelomoh, Solomon) meaning “peaceful.” The root appears widely in scripture, and cognate personal names occur in the Bible - e.g., Shelomi/Shelomith - attesting to long Jewish use of the element.

Across Jewish communities, the name’s popularity rose in modern Israel, where Shlomi is common both independently and as a nickname for Shlomo. Variants and spellings include Shlomy, Shlomie, Shlome; related forms are Shlomo/Shelomo (Hebrew), Shloyme/Shloime (Yiddish), and the Anglicized Solomon (with diminutives Sol, Solly). Feminine counterparts from the same root are Shlomit and Shulamit. The name conveys a wish for serenity and integrity - someone whole, at peace, and a maker of concord.
