Correct spelling of Solomea vs. Salomea

Solomea vs. Salomea

Are both of these spellings correct for a woman? As I research my genealogy I am finding both spellings for the same person.

Thanks in advance.

Solomea is a russian name not polish as far as I can tell.

Salomea us a polish version of Salome which came from an Aramaic word related to the jewish word shalom which means peace. I hope this helps.

Thanks! Salomea must be the correct spelling then because I am pretty confident that her name was Polish and not Russian. On all of the documents in the States...I see Solomea....it wasn't until I received a picture with captions from a relative living in Poland that I saw Salomea used instead.

I can confidently confirm that Salomea is the Polish version of the ancient Aramaic name Salome derived from the Hebrew 'Shalom' or 'Peace' in English. Likewise Solomea is merely a Russian Highlander or Lemki (said wemki) deviation of this same name. The Lemki highlanders now live in the most South Eastern parts of Poland (Bieszczady) and in the Ukraine from the border to the City of Lviv (old pre- WWII Lwow in Polish).

Nic Davison... I have a beautiful daughter called Salomea and I believe she is the only Salomea in the UK (born 09-07-2005).

Solomia or Solomea is the Ukrainian version of Salome. MANY Ukrainian women are named Solomia/Solomea (either spelling is correct), most notably the opera singer Solomea Krushelnytsky.
