What is the meaning of the name Shlomit ?

The baby name Shlomit is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ʃloˈmit/ (shloh-MEET).

Shlomit is Hebrew in Origin.

Drawn from the Hebrew root š-l-m, meaning peace, wholeness, and harmony, Shlomit (שלומית) is a feminine formation with the suffix -it; it stands as the female counterpart to Shlomo (Solomon). The name conveys senses of “peaceful,” “peace-bringing,” and “complete.” Spellings vary with transliteration conventions: Shlomit is standard in modern Hebrew, with Shlomith as an alternate rendering; Shelomith echoes biblical vocalization. Related forms include Shulamit/Shulamith and the cognate Salome via Greek.

Earliest attestations appear in the Hebrew Bible, notably Shelomith bat Dibri (Leviticus 24:11); the Shulammite of Song of Songs further shaped the name’s poetic resonance. Shlomit appears in post-biblical Jewish sources and medieval communities, then was strongly revived with Modern Hebrew, becoming a familiar choice in Israel from the mid‑20th century onward. Contemporary use spans Israel and the diaspora, appreciated for its timeless message of peace and its rooted cultural identity.
