Salamé

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Salamé (Arabic: سلامة) is a Lebanese last name which means "peaceable". It derives from a personal first name, and the Semitic word S-L-M meaning "peace".

Among Maronites, the name may derive from the Syriac word "Shlama" or "Shlomo" (ܫܠܡܐ) in the Western Syriac dialect deriving from a Proto-Semitic *šalām-.

The name is found across Lebanon primarily among Maronites, as well as Greek Orthodox Christians, Melkite Greek Catholics, and Shia Muslims.

The name has, but is not limited to, alternative spellings such as: Saleme, Salame, Salameh, Salemeh, and Seleme.
