Salma is associated with the meaning “Peace, safety, tranquility” — a beautiful sentiment to see brought to life in your child’s room.
Salma comes from the Arabic root "salm," meaning peace or safety. It is closely related to the word "salam," the common Arabic greeting that also means peace. The name appears in Semitic language traditions broadly, including Hebrew, where a similar root carries the same core meaning of wholeness and tranquility.
