I THINK, that Shabbat means Sabath and Shalom means rest.

Not 100% on that though....

thought 'shalom' was one of those hello/goodbye words - but more on the lines of 'peace be with you'.
but hey if you're going to find more of these why not

"Shabbat" means "Sabbath: Day of Rest". "Shalom" means "peace"; it is also used as a generalized greeting. Together, I would take them to mean "happy Sabbath".

Probably the best non-literal translation would be

"Joyous Sabbath", a greeting that is typically exchanged among family and friends on the Sabbath.
