Usage

In the New Testament, "Salém" refers to a location associated with peace. It is often identified with the ancient city of Jerusalem, particularly in its early references. The name itself is derived from a root meaning "peace," which is fitting given its association with the city that would become central to Jewish worship and later Christian history.
