Selma (name)
Selma is a feminine name of ambiguous origin. It could be a form of '' Selima'', which in turn is a name first recorded in a poem by Thomas Gray (died 1771). One possibility is that ''Selima'' was influenced by the Arabic name '' Selim'' meaning "peaceful". Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) p. 243. In Turkey the name is a variantion of the Arabic female name Salma. The name may also have Celtic origins, in which case it means "beautiful view". The use of ''Selma'' in Germany and Scandinavia stems from the Ossianic poetry of James Macpherson (died 1796), where it appears as a place name. Fellows-Jensen (2006) pp. 134–136. Vigsø (2001). Its specific popularity in Sweden is likely due to the Selma poems of Frans Michael Franzén (died 1847). It was later introduced into Denmark by Swedish immigrants, after which it likely became more common due to the works of the author Selma Lagerlöf (died 1940). The given name lost popularity in Sweden during most of the 20th century, but ha ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
