What is the meaning of the name Solomiya ?

The baby name Solomiya is a Female name , 4 syllables long and is pronounced soh-loh-MEE-yah (IPA: /so.loˈmi.ja/).

Solomiya is Ukrainian in Origin.

Solomiya is the Ukrainian feminine form of Salome, from Greek Salōmē, ultimately rooted in Hebrew shlomit/shalom, meaning “peace,” “wholeness,” or “well-being.” The name entered Eastern Slavic usage through Christian liturgical calendars and has long resonated in Ukraine as a culturally rooted yet internationally intelligible choice.

In sacred history, Salome appears among the Myrrhbearers and witnesses of the empty tomb, which aided the name’s spread across the Christian world. In Ukraine and neighboring lands, it gained particular currency from the Middle Ages onward and experienced renewed popularity in the 19th–20th centuries, notably through the celebrated soprano Solomiya Krushelnytska. Common variants and cognates include Solomiia (modern Ukrainian transliteration), Solomija, Salome, Salomé, Salomea (Polish), Salomeya (Russian), and Shlomit (Hebrew). Across these forms, the core meaning remains a wish for peace and harmony.
