Semantic Range
proper name (a peaceful one, my peace); designator for an Israelite individual; name associated with well-being or tranquility
Root / Etymology
Derived from the root שָׁלֹם (shalom), meaning 'peace, completeness, wholeness,' with the suffix -י (-i), often indicating a personal or possessive form in names. Thus, 'Shelomi' may be interpreted as 'my peace' or 'peaceful.'
Historical & Contextual Notes
שְׁלֹמִי is attested as a personal name in Numbers 34:27 and 1 Chronicles 27:28, identifying an Israelite of the tribe of Asher. In Israelite naming tradition, names incorporating the root שָׁלוֹם often express aspirations for well-being, harmony, or providential care. While some translations have rendered the name Shelomi in English as 'Shelomi,' there is no evidence this term was used as a common noun outside personal names. The usage is stable across the periods attested, and there is no known shift in meaning. Unlike later usage of 'Jew' as a communal identifier, the use of Shelomi is specific, genealogical, and refers to an Israelite lineage. Related names (e.g., Solomon/Shlomo) employ the same root but with different suffixes, which can signal different nuances.
Original Strong's Gloss (1890)
from שָׁלוֹם; peaceable; Shelomi, an Israelite; Shelomi.
