Suleyma
Meaning of Suleyma
Deriving from the Arabic root S-L-M, Suleyma is the feminine form of Suleiman—Arabic for Solomon—literally reflecting notions of “peace” and “security.” In Spanish phonology, it is rendered /suːˈlema/, preserving the original vowel quality, while in American English the second syllable typically shifts to a diphthong as /suːˈleɪmə/. U.S. Social Security Administration records show annual occurrences ranging from five to twenty-six newborn girls since 1989, situating Suleyma consistently between positions 824 and 982 on the top-1,000 popularity list. This pattern evidences a stable yet low-frequency adoption, marking Suleyma as an analytically precise choice for parents who value historical depth combined with measured rarity.
