1. Shelemyah (proper name) — The proper name Shelemyah/Shelemyahu, referring to several individuals in the Hebrew Bible (priests, officials, gatekeepers in Jeremiah, Ezra, Chronicles). All four clusters are prepositional or conjunctive variants of the same theophoric name. Spanish Shelemyahu/Shelemyah/Selemias, Arabic Shalamya/Shalamyaahu, Hindi shelemyaah/shelemyaahuu, Korean sellemya/syeoremiya, Swahili Shelemia. The alternation between the short form (-yah) and long form (-yahu) is a standard theophoric suffix variation, not a distinct name. 10×
