Sholomith is Hebrew in Origin.
Sholomith is a transliteration variant of Hebrew Shelomith/Shlomit (שלומית), from the Semitic root sh-l-m meaning peace and wholeness. In the Tanakh the name appears for both women (for example, Shelomith bat Dibri in Leviticus 24:11) and men (as Shelomith or Shelomoth among Levites in Chronicles), yielding senses like peaceful one or belonging to peace. The spelling with o reflects Ashkenazi and Yiddish vocalization patterns, as in Sholom for Shalom.
Used intermittently in Jewish communities from late antiquity through the medieval period, it saw a modest revival in the modern era; the Israeli form Shlomit is fairly common, while Sholomith remains rare in the diaspora. Variants include Shlomit, Shelomit, Shelomith, and Shlomith; masculine cognates are Shlomo/Shelomo and Shalom. Related names via the same root include Salome, Salomea, and Slavic Solomiya. Not to be confused with Shulamit/Shulamith, a distinct biblical form.
Sholomith does not appear in any of the birth registries or name datasets we track. This usually means it's either extremely rare, a regional/traditional name not captured by official statistics, or a brand-new coinage. Use it knowing your child will almost certainly be the only one in the room.
