SALUK Origin of surname
SALUK, SELUK, SELOUC, SELOUK
Surnames derive from one of many different origins. Sometimes there may be more than one explanation for the same name. This family name derives from an occupation, profession or trade (also connected with raw material, finished product or implements associated with that trade). The surname Saluk is derived from the Arabic Selk, which means a "thread maker"; or from the Arabic Sallak, which means "savior". In some cases, Saluk is a toponymic (derived from a geographic name of a town, city, region or country). Surnames that are based on place names do not always testify to direct origin from that place, but may indicate an indirect relation between the name-bearer or his ancestors and the place, such as birth place, temporary residence, trade, or family-relatives. The surname is associated with Saluk, a town in Libya.
Distinguished 20th century bearers of the Jewish family name Selouk include the Israeli trade-union leader Abraham Selouk.
