Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew name Salma in the Strong's Greek Dictionary. However, the genealogical line is referenced in the Greek New Testament, particularly in the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel of Matthew (Matthew 1:4-5).

Usage: Salma is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a male figure, specifically a descendant of Judah. The name Salma is often understood to mean "garment" or "clothed," reflecting a possible cultural significance related to protection or covering.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, names often held significant meanings and were sometimes indicative of a person's character or destiny. Salma, as a descendant of Judah, is part of the genealogical line that holds importance in the history of Israel, particularly in relation to the tribe of Judah, which was one of the leading tribes of Israel. The tribe of Judah is historically significant as it is the lineage from which King David and, ultimately, Jesus Christ are descended.
