Shem

The name Shem is of Hebrew origin. The meaning of Shem is 'renown'. Biblically it is the name of one of Noah's sons, the name Shem is considered a boy's name and somewhat a last name. People with the name Shem are usually Judaism by religion. Islamic scholars regard Shem as Noah's immediate successor, receiving prophetic knowledge, enlightenment, and leadership. Some of them, like Ibn Ishaq and Ibn Hisham, have frequently included Shem's name in the genealogy of Muhammad. Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, in a Shiite tradition, also related to his companions that Jibrael visited Noah just before his passing and delivered the divine news that his days had come to an end and his prophetic ministry was over but that he would hand over the inheritance of the knowledge of prophethood to his son (Shem). One of the most notable persons with the name is Shem-Tov ibn Falaquera, the Spanish-Jewish philosopher, translator, commentator, poet, and encyclopedist.
