Etymology
سالِم is the active participle of the verb سَلِمَ (salima), "to be safe, sound, unharmed," built on the triliteral root س-ل-م. The same root gives سَلام (peace), إسلام (Islam, literally submission), and مُسلِم (Muslim). As a participle it works as an adjective meaning safe or intact, and it is also one of the most common Arabic male given names.
