What Does the Name Solomiya Mean?
Solomiya is a Ukrainian feminine given name meaning "peace." It is the Ukrainian form of Salome, a name that reached Ukrainian through Greek Christian tradition. The Greek form was Σαλώμη (Salōmē), which is usually traced to the Hebrew שלום (shalom), "peace." The same Hebrew root also carries senses of wholeness and well-being, but the customary meaning attached to the name is "peace." The Ukrainian ending -iya is a common feminine pattern in names borrowed from Greek and Latin, and it distinguishes Solomiya from the shorter Greek form.
Solomiya Name History & Origins
The name entered Ukrainian usage through the Christian church, where Greek Salome was known from the New Testament. In the Gospel of Mark, Salome is one of the women who followed Jesus and who came to the tomb on Easter morning (Mark 15:40; 16:1). A different Salome, the daughter of Herodias, is named by the first-century Jewish historian Josephus in his Antiquities of the Jews; the Gospels tell her story without giving her name. In Eastern Christian tradition, Salome is venerated as one of the myrrhbearers, and the name appears in Eastern Christian calendars. In Ukrainian, it took the form Соломія (Solomiya), with the Greek ending adapted to Ukrainian pronunciation and spelling. In English, it is transliterated as Solomiya or Solomia. The name has been borne by the Ukrainian operatic soprano Solomiya Krushelnytska (1872 - 1952), who sang in major European and American opera houses. It continues to be used in Ukraine and in Ukrainian communities abroad.
