English origin:

Salem (, alternatively transliterated as ar) is a given name of Arabic origin. The Arabic name Salim (in Arabic سليم) is also sometimes rendered as Salem in English, though pronounced with a short a and long ee. In Arabic, the two are distinctly different names, although their meanings are etymologically related.

It can also be a transliteration of the he; the Jewish and Arabic name is also transliterated as Salem. It is an Arabic- and Sephardic Jewish-origin given name and surname, and an English surname of Anglo-Saxon origin.
