Salem (Arabic: سالم, properly transliterated as Sālim; it can also be a transliteration of the Hebrew: שָׁלֵם Shalem;[1] the Jewish and Arabic name is also transliterated as Salem) is an Arabic- and Sephardic Jewish-origin given name and surname,[2][3] and an English surname of Anglo-Saxon origin.[4]

The Arabic name سليم, properly transliterated as Salim, is also sometimes rendered as Salem in English, though pronounced with a short a, and ee. In Arabic, the two are distinctly different names, although their meanings are similarly related.
