Salem 
place mentioned in Gen. xiv.18, from Heb. Shalem, usually said to be another word for Jerusalem and to mean "peace" (cf. Heb. shalom, Arabic salaam). So common as a Baptist and Methodist meetinghouse name that by mid-19c. it (along with Bethel and Ebenezer) had come to be used in Britain generically to mean "non-conformist chapel."
