The
Shalev entry claims that it is unisex, but I can't find any actual proof of this from a quick online search, instead finding indications that it's a strictly masculine name. This confuses me, because the aforementioned entry is supposed to have been verified (it's not a Submitted name).
This page has some claim that the feminine form of this name is
Shalva (which matches the Submitted Name entry by that name), but others contend the claim by counter-claiming that it's not used at all as a Hebrew name in
Israel.
