"Variant of Salima"
The name Suleima is commonly a female name from the "Arabic" origin.
Suleima is a Latin-alphabet spelling of an Arabic female name. In Arabic script it corresponds to both Salima and Sulayma, which share the same consonants (s-l-m) and differ only in vocalization, so English spellings such as Suleima, Sulaima and Salima all circulate for closely related names. The root s-l-m carries the sense of being safe, sound or intact, which underlies words such as salam and salim.
Salima means "Happy".
The pronunciation of Suleima is soo-LAY-mah.
