History and Origin
Salome is a feminine name derived from the Hebrew word shalom, meaning "peace."
Salome (c. early 1st century CE) was the daughter of Herodias, and nemesis of John the Baptist (Mark 6:17-29 and Matt 14:3-11). Christians have traditionally regarded her as a dangerous temptress. Salome is also the name of a Christian saint, who was traditionally one of the women who witnessed the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
The name is currently among the top 10 names given to newborn girls in 2011 in Georgia and Colombia. It is ranked among the top 100 names for girls in France. It is less popular in the United States, where it does not rank among the top 1,000 names; just 82 newborn girls there were given the name in 2010.
English, German, etc.: Greek form of an unrecorded Aramaic name, related to the Hebrew word shalom peace. It was common at the time of Christ, and was borne by one of the women who were at his tomb at the time of the Resurrection (Mark 16: 1–8). This would normally have led to its common use as a Christian name, and it is indeed found as such in medieval times. However, according to the Jewish historian Josephus, it was also the name of King Herod's stepdaughter, the daughter of Queen Herodias. In the Bible, a daughter of Herodias, generally identified as this Salome, danced for Herod and so pleased him that he offered to give her anything she wanted. Prompted by her mother, she asked for (and got) the head of John the Baptist, who was in one of Herod's prisons (Mark 6: 17–28). This story so gripped medieval imagination that the name Salome became more or less taboo until the end of the 19th century, when Oscar Wilde wrote a play about her and some unconventional souls began to choose the name for their daughters.
