salliman

Salliman is a given name and, less commonly, a surname used in various Muslim-majority and multilingual communities. It is a transliteration variant of سليمان and is related to the names Suleiman, Soliman, Suleman, and Sulaiman.

Etymology and meaning: The name derives from the Hebrew name Shlomo (Solomon) and is commonly understood to carry the meaning "peace" or "the peaceful one" through the root S-L-M. In Islamic tradition, the corresponding Arabic form Suleiman is associated with the Prophet Solomon.

Usage and distribution: Salliman appears in Latin-script records where Arabic-based names are transliterated. It is generally rarer than more common variants and may reflect regional pronunciation, historical transcription practices, or clerical records. The form is found in Arabic-speaking regions as well as in Turkish, Persian, South Asian, and Southeast Asian communities, where habits of transliteration vary.

Limitations: There is no widely recognized meaning beyond being a personal name, nor is Salliman known as the name of a major place, institution, or historical figure. As such, references to Salliman usually denote individuals bearing the name rather than an independent concept.

Related names include Suleiman, Soliman, Suleman, Sulaiman, and Solomon.
