Salam Origin and Meaning

The name Salam is a boy's name.

Salam is a meaningful masculine name of Arabic origin that directly translates to 'peace' or 'peace be upon you.' It comes from the same Semitic root as the Hebrew word 'shalom.' The name holds special significance in Islamic culture as 'As-Salaam' is one of the 99 names of Allah, meaning 'The Source of Peace.' Salam is used across many Muslim-majority countries and has gained modest international recognition for its positive meaning and spiritual significance. The name crosses cultural boundaries easily due to its simple pronunciation and universal message, making it appealing to families seeking a name with deep spiritual roots and peaceful connotations.
