From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:

  Shalem
     perfect, a place (probably the village of Salim) some 2 miles
     east of Jacob's well. There is an abundant supply of water,
     which may have been the reason for Jacob's settling at this
     place (Gen. 33:18-20). The Revised Version translates this word,
     and reads, "Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem," thus


     not regarding it as a proper name at all.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
