[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clearly none of you who keep harping on the fact that it means peace speak Arabic. The pronunciation of the word in Arabic bears no resemblance to the way Salem is pronounced as an American name. As such, it should probably be spelled Salaam, since that it is how it is most often transliterated. Salem is just a different word, really, they way you all say it. Like complex has different meanings depending on how you say it. She gave him in an inferiority complex. The instructions were too complex for him to follow. [/quote] The name is derived from the Arabic and Hebrew roots for peace. The city itself was named for such. As was Jerusalem[/quote]
