What is the meaning of the name Abesaloma ?

The baby name Abesaloma is a Male name , 5 syllables long and is pronounced ah-beh-sah-LOH-ma.

Abesaloma is Hebrew in Origin.

Abesaloma is a culturally adapted form of the biblical name Absalom, ultimately from Hebrew Avshalom, combining av "father" and shalom "peace" to mean "father of peace." Via Greek and Church Slavonic transmission (often rendered Avessalom), the name developed regional spellings with inserted vowels; Abesaloma reflects those patterns in languages that prefer open syllables.

The name’s prominence stems from King David’s son Absalom in the Hebrew Bible, whose tragic revolt and celebrated hair made the name a literary byword. Usage has persisted in Jewish, Christian, and especially Eastern Orthodox contexts, with related forms such as Georgian Abesalom/Abesalomi, Russian Avessalom, and Pacific and African Bible forms Apisaloma/Abesalome/Abisalomu. Other international variants include Absalom, Absalon (Scandinavian/French), Absalón (Spanish), Absolon (Czech/Polish), and Avshalom (modern Hebrew). Abesaloma remains uncommon today but appeals for its venerable roots and peaceful meaning.
