There were two woman in the Bible named this.
The first Salome was the fleshly sister of Mary, Jesus mother. Salome was married to Zebedee and there sons James and John were apostles of Jesus Christ. At the break of dawn on the third day after Jesus’ death, Salome was among the women who went to Jesus’ tomb to rub his body with spices, only to find the stone rolled away and, inside the tomb, an angel who announced to them: “He was raised up, he is not here. See! The place where they laid him.”—Mr 16:1-8.
The second person to bear the name Salome in the Bible is the step daughter of Herod who was promised anything she requested- up to half his kingdom and on her wicked mothers advice she asked for the head of John the Baptizer. John the Baptizer's head was brought to her on a platter.
I like the name Salome. It is the middle name of my second favorite female name on my list. When I think of this name I think of Salome -Mary's sister-. I like the meaning and the look of the name.
