Maslama

Maslama (مسلمة) is a historically attested Arabic masculine name derived from the triliteral root s-l-m that yields meanings around peace, safety and deliverance. It appears in medieval chronicles and biographical dictionaries; a well-known bearer is Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik, an Umayyad prince and general recorded in early Islamic history. As a classical but uncommon choice it is used by families valuing traditional Arabic lexicon and spiritual connotations of safety and reconciliation. The name links semantically to other s-l-m rooted names such as [[Salamah]] and [[Salim]], and to the wider semantic field reflected in [[Islam]] (submission leading to peace). In onomastic studies Maslama is noted for its clear, single-root derivation and its presence in historical narratives without being widespread as a popular modern given name.
