"Variant of Sulayma"
The name Suleyma is commonly a female name from the "Arabic" origin.
Suleyma is a Latin-alphabet spelling of the Arabic feminine name Sulayma, which is formed as a diminutive of Salma on the fu'ayla pattern. Transliteration of Arabic names into English letters is not standardised, so the same name is also written Sulayma, Suleima and Solayma; the -eyma ending here represents the long vowel of the Arabic form.
The pronunciation of Suleyma is soo-LAY-muh.
