Sholem is a masculine given name of Hebrew origin, meaning "peace". It is derived from the Hebrew word "shalom", which also means peace. The name has been traditionally used among Jews and was popularized by prominent figures such as Sholem Aleichem (pen name of Solomon Naumovich Rabinovich), a renowned Yiddish author known for his stories about Tevye the Dairyman, which inspired the musical "Fiddler on the Roof". In its various forms, including Shalom and Shulim, this name has been used among different cultures throughout history.
"Sholem seems to have seen a brief spike in popularity during the late '50s and early '80s with a total of 44 births over five decades."
