Shlomith is Hebrew in Origin.

Shlomith is a Hebrew feminine name rooted in the Semitic triliteral sh-l-m, source of shalom “peace, wholeness.” It parallels or is interpreted as the feminine of Shlomo (Solomon) and can also be a direct adjectival form meaning “peaceful” or “complete.” The spelling Shlomith reflects a modern transliteration of שלומית (Shlomit/Shelomit), with related forms Shlomit, Shelomith, and Shelomit; it stands alongside the closely related Shulamit/Shulamith and the Greek-derived cognate Salome.

In the Hebrew Bible, Shelomith/Shelomit appears multiple times, borne by both women and men (e.g., Leviticus 24:11; 1 Chronicles 26:28; Ezra 8:10), giving the name deep textual pedigree. After intermittent use in Jewish communities through late antiquity and the medieval period - often via Shulamit or Salome - the modern Hebrew revival favored Shlomit, with Shlomith seen in diaspora and scholarly spellings. The name conveys a wish for serenity, integrity, and communal peace.
