Salem's last name may have been given to him by his original enslaver Belknap, who may have chosen the name after [[Salem, Massachusetts]], where he once lived.<ref name=ANB/> His last name may also be derived from the Arabic word "[[Š-L-M|salaam]]", meaning ''peace''.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://nmaahc.si.edu/explore/stories/collection/african-muslims-early-america|title=African Muslims in Early America|publisher=[[National Museum of African American History and Culture]]|access-date=June 6, 2020}}</ref> |
