It could be a form of Selima, which in turn is a name first recorded in a poem by Thomas Gray (died 1771). One possibility is that Selima was influenced by the Arabic name Selim meaning “peaceful”.[1] In Turkey the name is a variation of the Arabic female name Salma.The name may also have Celtic origins, in which case it means “beautiful view”.[2]The use of Selma in Germany and Scandinavia stems from the Ossianic poetry of James Macpherson (died 1796), where it appears as a place name.[1][2][3][4] Its specific popularity in Sweden is likely due to the Selma poems of Frans Michael Franz\u00e9n (died 1847). It was later introduced into Denmark by Swedish immigrants, after which it likely became more common due to the works of the author Selma Lagerl\u00f6f (died 1940).[3] The given name lost popularity in Sweden during most of the 20th century, but has had an upswing since the 1990s. In 1999, it joined the list of 100 most common names for Swedish female infants, and in 2017 and 2018, it was in the 16th place.[2]Table of ContentsGiven name[edit]Surname[edit]Fictional characters[edit]Citations[edit]Sources[edit]Given name[edit]Selma Bajrami (born 1980), Bosnian singerSelma Bj\u00f6rnsd\u00f3ttir (born 1974), Icelandic singer, 1999 and 2005 representative in the Eurovision Song ContestSelma Blair (born 1972), American actressSelma Botman (born 1950), American academicSelma Chalabi, British filmmakerSelma Cronan (1913\u20132002), American aviatorSelma Diamond (1917\u20132008), American actressSelma Dritz (1920\u20131985), American physician and epidemiologistSelma Erge\u00e7 (born 1978), Turkish-German actress and modelSelma Ek (1856\u20131941), Swedish opera singerSelma Freud (1877\u2013?), Austrian physicistSelma Gi\u00f6bel (1843\u20131925), Swedish artistSelma Gr\u00e4fin von der Gr\u00f6ben (1856\u20131938), German women’s rights activistSalma Hayek (born 1966), Mexican and American actress and producerSelma Jacobsson (1841\u20131899), Swedish photographerSelma James (born 1930), American writer, feminist and social activistSelma Aliye Kavaf (born 1962), Turkish politicianSelma Kurz (1874\u20131933), Austrian\/German operatic sopranoSelma Lagerl\u00f6f (1858\u20131940), Swedish authorSelma Meerbaum-Eisinger (1924\u20131942), Romanian-born German-language poetSelma Mayer (1884\u20131984), Israeli nurse known as Schwester SelmaSelma Meyer (1890\u20131941), Dutch-Jewish women’s rights activistSelma Ya\u011fc\u0131 (born 1981), Turkish boxerSurname[edit]Fictional characters[edit]Selma Bouvier, The Simpsons character voiced by Julie KavnerSelma Jezkov\u00e1, fictional character in the Lars von Trier film Dancer in the Dark played by Bj\u00f6rkCitations[edit]Sources[edit]Fellows-Jensen, G (2001). “Danish Place-names in Scotland and Scottish Personal Names in Denmark: A Survey of Recent Research”.
