Etymology

Jerusalem. Salem - Originally the name Salem probably had to do with a Ugaritic god, but transliterated this name neatly concurs with the Hebrew word (shalem 2401) meaning to be complete, sound. The similar derivative (shalem 2401d) means perfect, whole full. Another derivative is (shalom 2401a) meaning peace. Later this town became known as Jerusalem
