Help[Facts] Salem - same?
Thank you to those for telling me of him in Sabrina the Teenage Witch, but I can only see Saleem and Salim in the S section. Is it the same as those 2 or if not, what is its meaning?

It's short for Jerusalem.

When they're written down, Semitic languages typically show consonants but not vowels - the exceptions are mostly in sacred texts where accuracy is important.
This means that David and Dawood, Salem, Salim, Shalom and Salome and so on represent the same name as used in different languages or as transcribed by speakers of other languages.
