Selma is a feminine name of uncertain origin. 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 "peace".〔Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) p. 243.〕 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.〔Hanks; Hardcastle; Hodges (2006) p. 243.〕〔Fellows-Jensen (2006) pp. 134–136.〕〔Vigsø (2001).〕 Its specific popularity in Sweden is likely due to the Selma poems of Frans Michael Franzén (died 1847). It was later introduced into Denmark by Swedish immigrants, after which it likely became more common do to the works of the author Selma Lagerlöf (died 1940).〔Fellows-Jensen (2006) pp. 134–136.〕 ==Given name== *Selma Bajrami (born 1980), Bosnian singer *Selma Björnsdóttir (born 1974), Icelandic singer, 1999 and 2005 representative in the Eurovision Song Contest *Selma Blair (born 1972), American actress *Selma Chalabi, British filmmaker *Selma Diamond (1920–1985), American actress *Selma Ergeç (born 1978), Turkish-German actress and model *Selma Ek (1856–1941), Swedish opera singer *Selma Aliye Kavaf (born 1962), Turkish politician *Selma Kurz (1874–1933), Austrian/German operatic soprano *Selma Lagerlöf (1858–1940), Swedish author *Selma Meerbaum-Eisinger (1924–1942), Romanian-born German-language poet *Selma Yağcı (born 1981), Turkish boxer 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Selma (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
