Salemn.

Brit.

/ˈseɪləm/, U.S.

/ˈseɪləm/

Etymology: Name of a place in Genesis xiv. 18 (Hebrew Shālēm), understood to be another name for Jerusalem and to mean ‘peace’ (Hebrew shālōm).

Occasionally (chiefly in the nineteenth century) adopted by Methodists, Baptists, Independents, etc., as the name of a particular chapel or meeting-house. Hence used as a synonym for ‘nonconformist chapel’. Cf. bethel n. 2, Ebenezer n. 2, Zion n.
