No etymology is suggested.
Perhaps the name could be divided into šmn and ilom, in which case, the former may be “oil, fat,” and the latter something to do with “god.” Also possible is šēm, “name,” and a derivation from the root nlh/y, e.g., nlt in Isaiah 33:1 or minlām in Job 15:29 (see Arabic naylun, nâʾlun, “wealth, possession”) (RFS). The latter suggestion would form the basis for the name “name/monument of wealth.”
