In Kabbalah, the name Meshulam symbolizes the attainment of both spiritual and material completeness. The root Sh-L-M is connected to peace (shalom), wholeness (shlemut), and Jerusalem (Yerushalayim) - the holy city. The name carries the energy of perfect balance between the spiritual and material worlds, expressing the ideal state in which a person achieves complete inner harmony. Kabbalah sees this name as an expression of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and the completion of one's spiritual mission.
