Best Answer

"Shalom" is sometimes spelled differently in English because it is not an English word. It is a Hebrew word. The letters and sounds in Hebrew differ from those in English, so there is some variation in how to transliterate the words from one language to the other.

You might see a variation like "sholom" - but it means the same thing and refers to the same word as "shalom."

The most common spelling is "shalom."
