  1. We searched for names meaning “peace”, which has been a theme on our hearts lately. Salome is a variation of the Hebrew Shalom, which means peace. We pronounce the name “Sa-LOW-may”, with an accent over the “e” when spelling it. This means people get the name and spelling wrong. But we still love the name!

  3. It’s a beautiful biblical name derived from the Hebrew greeting Shalom. The only thing I don’t like about it is that many people pronounce it wrong.

  5. I’m a FTM when I found out I was pregnant I was so sure I was having a boy, months later a baby girl was on her way! I already had the boys name haha so I had to start looking one for my little girl it was until I heard a well known Spanish song and it mentioned Salom? I started looking what it meant, where it came from, how popular was (because I wanted the least popular name hehe unique!) after a long thought that was it! Dad agreed to it so that’s our babygirl name
