The name 'Shahalom' is a combination of two Hebrew words: 'Shalom' meaning peace and 'Yah' meaning God. It is believed to have originated as a name used by Hindu communities in India during the medieval period when they were influenced by Jewish traders and settlers.
Medieval period, around 10th to 16th centuries
Another theory suggests that the name 'Shahalom' was adopted by Hindu soldiers who served in the Mughal army during the late 16th and 17th centuries. These soldiers may have heard the Hebrew term 'Shalom' used by Jewish soldiers in their ranks and adopted it as a name due to its meaning of peace and its association with the God of Israel.
