Shlomi or Shelomi is a Hebrew name (שלומי or in its Biblical spelling שלמי). It appears in the Bible[1] once, in Numbers 34:27 as the father of Ahihud, the leader of the Tribe of Asher. It has become somewhat popular as a first name in Israel.[2] It also serves as a substitute or pet form of the more traditional name Shlomo (שלמה).[citation needed]
The correct Biblical pronunciation is with the stress on the "mi", but most Israelis pronounce it with the stress on the "lo".[citation needed]
Shlomi means "My Shalom" where "Shalom" is well-being or peace. It may also mean "The Shalom of 'Y'" where "Y" is the Hebrew short for Jehovah, or possibly "having the property of Shalom." (= "Shalom-ful" in English).
Shlomi is also an Israeli development town in the north-west of Israel.[citation needed]
