Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: Shlomiyth
Pronunciation: shloh-MEETH
Phonetic Spelling: (shel-o-meeth')

Meaning: Shelomith

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁלוֹם (shalom), meaning "peace" or "completeness."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the name Shelomith in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a Hebrew proper name. However, the concept of peace is captured in the Greek word εἰρήνη (eirēnē), Strong's Greek #1515.

Usage: The name Shlomiyth, or Shelomith, means "peaceful" or "peaceable." It is used as a feminine proper name in the Hebrew Bible. The name reflects a cultural emphasis on peace and well-being, which is central to Hebrew thought and the biblical narrative.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, names were often given with the hope or prayer that the individual would embody the meaning of their name. The root word "shalom" is a significant concept in Jewish culture, encompassing peace, harmony, wholeness, and prosperity. The name Shelomith would have been a hopeful declaration of these qualities over the life of the individual.
