Selma is also a Turkish name, I think one of the grand daughters of the last sultan bore that name. She was born around 1910 or something.

Thank you, Claire!
Yes, I've read that, too. It is a short form of SELIMA. Also "selma" in Greek means "beams of a ship" - but this, I think, is pure accident.
