Selihom is an uncommon, distinctive first name of Slavic origin. It is derived from the Old Slavic word "selo," meaning village, and "hom" which signifies love or dear. This unique combination results in a name that translates to "dear village." Selihom is not widely recognized as it is not among the top names in any country's popularity charts, making those who bear this name stand out due to its rarity. It is also notable for having no established variants or nicknames, further emphasizing its uniqueness. Despite its uncommon usage, Selihom does not have a specific gender association, making it an unisex name that can be used regardless of the child's sex. However, its Slavic origins may make it more commonly associated with Eastern European cultures.
