Shelomith, Shelomoth; personal name of several Levites and one royal descendant, meaning perhaps 'peaceful' or 'complete'
This name (appearing in masculine and feminine forms: Shelomith, Shelomoth) identifies several individuals in Chronicles and Ezra, mostly Levites. 1 Chronicles 23:18 and 26:28 mention Levitical Shelomiths involved in temple service. 2 Chronicles 11:20 names a Shelomith as daughter of Rehoboam. Ezra 8:10 lists a Shelomith as head of a post-exilic family. The name likely derives from shalom (peace, wholeness), suggesting meanings like 'peaceful one' or 'my peace/wholeness.' The multilingual glosses transliterate with minor variations. The multiple individuals bearing this name, particularly among temple servants, suggests it was a favored name in Levitical families, carrying connotations of peace and completeness appropriate to those serving in God's house.
