Salaam
Name meaning peace
Salaam is an Arabic greeting meaning "peace," used among Muslims and in regions influenced by Islamic culture.
It's a shortened form of *as-salamu alaykum* ("peace be upon you").
As a noun, a salaam can also be a low bow with the hand touching the forehead—a gesture of respectful greeting: He made a deep salaam before the elder.
The verb means to greet someone this way.
