About Salome (Daughter of Herodias)
The name Salome comes from the Hebrew greeting shalom, which means peace. The style of the name with the added letter "e" at the end is Greek.
A woman called Salome was a follower of Jesus. She may have been Mary’s sister and the mother of James and John. In Mark 15:40, the evangelist describes the women who stood at the foot of the cross. Three women are named: Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James the lesser and of Joses, and Salome.
