Salma

Salma, or Salmon as the King James Version usually spells it, is a name in the family tree of Jesus and nothing more is told about him. Ruth 4:21 reads, “Salmon begat Boaz, and Boaz begat Obed,” and Matthew 1:5 adds that Salmon begat “Booz of Rachab,” naming a mother whose name matches Rahab. Luke 3:32 repeats the line from the other direction, through Jesse, Obed and Booz. His role is the middle link: he stands between Nahshon and Boaz, and through Boaz he leads to Obed, Jesse and in time David. Matthew 1 shows the whole chain.

From Smith's Bible Dictionary

William Smith, 1884

(garment), (Ruth 4:20,21; 1 Chronicles 2:11,51,54; Matthew 1:4,5; Luke 3:32) son of Nahshon. the prince of the children of Judah, and father of Boat, the husband of Ruth. (B.C. 1296.) Bethlehem-ephratah, which was Salmon’s inheritance, was part of the territory of Caleb, the grandson of Ephratah; and this caused him to be reckoned among the sons of Caleb.
