Hahaha! OMG! I did a name generator and this was the name for the kid: Selma Gina Kellogg! LOL!-- danielle16 4/7/2006
The name Selma also comes from Selma in "The Poems of Ossian" by James Macpherson. This Selma is a castle and the name is from the Gaelic "shelma", which means "beautiful view".
Selma can also be a form of Selima.-- Ylva 6/27/2006
I recently discovered that this name was a family name. I kind of like it. It's classic but a little spunky at the same time. I might even use it someday.-- claraelizabethann 7/24/2006

Selma Ježková is a fictional character from the movie "Dancer In The Dark". She was played by Björk.-- Karcoolka 1/28/2008
Aren't there at least two small towns in the country with this name in America? The name has a bit of a hillbilly sound to it in America because of that, but it sounds like a pretty and refreshing enough name in other countries. Unfortunately, it reminds me of the movie Dancer in the Dark, where the character was basically dumber than a box of rocks. I think I'll always associate this name with that illogical disaster of a movie, and hillbilly places in America.-- slight night shiver 5/5/2008
Possibly derived from the name Salma.-- Anonymous User 2/1/2009
I have mixed feelings about this name. I've heard it in Turkey and parts of the Arab world, where I suppose it's a form of Salma. It seems pretty common and youthful there. In English, however, it sounds so old ladyish, not to mention it immediately brings up Selma Bouvier from The Simpsons.-- bananarama 7/5/2009
The German pronunciation is ZEL-mah. [noted -ed]-- mafiosa 8/6/2009
I'm a young American who LOVES this name, despite its 'Simpsons' association. I think it's very dark and oozy sweet at the same time... like molasses :) Selma is a sexy vamp who also bakes the best cookies.-- Madyson 9/2/2011
Selma is a city in Alabama. In 1865 it was a site of the Battle of Selma where over 3000 Civil War soldiers died. Later it was a launch point for protesters attempting to march from Selma to Montgomery. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave a speech at Selma's Brown Chapel AME Church. Whenever I hear the name Selma, I think of the Civil Rights Movement.-- cej 3/14/2012
