Lot of people think that Szulimán was named after Suleiman the Magnificent, who died some miles from here, but the village original name is Szőlőmál, what means 'hill with grape'. The name was written first in the 15th century, as Zelewmal.
The village was the property of Bálint Török around 1500.
After the Turks get banished, Hungarians, and Croatians did come; from 1800 there are some Germans.
