Salem Salem

Salem is the place where Melchizedek housed. According to Psalm 76:2 God's tabernacle is in Salem.

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

Related names are Solomon, Jerusalem, Absalom.
