What does the shulammite mean?

Question

This word appears in the Book of Song of Songs from the Holy Bibe.

Answer 1

The meaning of the name does not seem to be in dispute, as it is from "shalom" , meaning "peace" (as is the name Solomon). However, this term is only used in the Song of Solomon, so it is believed that it is a form of the word "Shunnamite". If this is so, then there are three examples in the Bible:

(1) Abishag, who was brought to minister to the aged king David, love for whom led Adonijah to his doom (1 Ki 1:3,15; 2:17, etc.).
(2) The woman, name unknown, whose son Elisha raised from the dead (2 Ki 4:12, etc.). Later when apparently she had become a widow, after seven years' absence on account of famine, in the land of the Philistines, she returned to find her property in the hands of others. Elisha's intervention secured its restoration (2 Ki 8:1-6).
(3) The Shulammite (Song 6:13). In this name there is the exchange of "l" for "n" which is common.

Answer 2

Shulammite
The designation for the beautiful country girl who is the principle character of The Song of Solomon. (6:13) Likely this title portrays her as from the city of Shunem (modern Solem). 1Kings 1:3 Lending support to this view is the fact that the Septuagint Version calls the girl the "Sunamite". Also, the ecclesiastical writer Eusebius of the 4th century CE referred to Shunem as Shulem

Answer 3

the word is used to say where a person is from - in this case a women, a lover of solomon - she was from "shunem" which is a place called "two resting places."

It's an ethnic group. Like the "Canaanites, Hittites" etc.
