Now here's a name that looks like salami. Can't believe no one's said it yet.
Also the Romanian form. You'll find bearers on social media.
Double Noble Prize laureate Marie Curie was born Maria Salomea Skłodowska in Poland in 1867.
My mother had a Polish aunt with this name but it was spelled Salomeja - pronounced Salomea but I guess in Polish you need the "j" to get the right sound. Her aunt was called Sadie, which I always hated but I love Salomea. I'd love to give a daughter the name Salomea, but I wouldn't spell it with the j, that would be too confusing in America.
Surely not a Polish name! We even don't mix letters 'ea' together in names or words!
Of course Salomea has Hebrew origins (and in this sense it's not a "Polish name"), but is used in Poland in this exact spelling. It's not the sole case of the -ea ending in Polish female names - another Biblical name, Leah, is spelled Lea (LEH-ah), and recently Andrea was approved by the Council of the Polish Language as well. BTW, the patron saint for this name, Blessed Salomea, was a Polish princess from the 13th century.
