The name Salam is a classic masculine title rooted in Urdu tradition. The name holds the profound meaning of 'Peace', reflecting qualities that parents often wish to bestow upon their child.

While popular in Urdu regions, Salam has a modern appeal that transcends borders. It is an excellent choice for a modern Muslim family honoring tradition.

Salam comes from the Arabic root s-l-m, meaning “peace.” As-Salam (The Source of Peace) is one of the ninety-nine names of Allah, and the same root gives the daily Islamic greeting, “As-salamu alaykum.”
