Meaning:Queen of Samoa; Unknown
Salamasina is a girl’s name with a royal flourish. This Pacific Islander name comes from the Queen of Samoa and has retained its regal associations since her reign in the 1500s. Queen Salamasina embodied a true feminine power during her time in the thrown, connecting families and overseeing a period in Samoan history with a total absence of warfare. Thanks to her, the name is something many take pride simply in being connected to. Salamasina’s meaning is rather debated, with some suggesting “forever” and others linking the name to the moon with “sacred moon” and “daughter of the bright moon.”
