Type of Name:

First Name

Language:

Hebrew Bible, Song of Songs

Meaning:

Same Hebrew root as the word "Shalom" with the female ending "eet."

Additional Information:

This is the Hebrew version of the name. The Yiddish version of the name often ends "th" and is pronounced "shuh LA mit" or "shuh LA meth." The Hebrew is not written with an "h" at the end of the name. The Hebrew name in America is often pronounced "SHOE la meet" to make it more like English, but never properly pronounced with the accent on the middle syllable. Correct Hebrew pronunciation puts the accent on the last syllable, "MEET." Putting the accent on the first syllable is acceptable, but putting it on the middle is not. Also, often the last syllable is mispronounced "mitt" instead of "meet" especially in England. Pronouncing it with the Yiddish style makes it sound old fashioned or very conservative, and is generally not appreciated.
