Woven with intricate cultural threads, the name Selma mirrors a clear sky at dawn. Initially derived from an old Germanic form, Selma, the name is perceived as 'fair' or 'comely.'

Possessing Germanic roots, and thought to be a variant of Anselma, the name Selma arrived in the English language around the late 18th Century.
