Reference Profile
Etymology
From the Javanese slamet, 'safe, blessed' - from the Arabic salamah, the name of Java's great volcano and the slametan communal feast.
Notable Historical Usage
Java received Islam through its north-coast ports from the fourteenth century, and the tradition credits its spread to the Wali Songo, the nine saints. Javanese naming kept its own vocabulary and its own sense of the auspicious while taking in Arabic names, so both run side by side.
