"שלימיל" meaning in Yiddish

See שלימיל in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Noun

Forms: shlimil [romanization]
Etymology: Unknown. One proposed etymology is that it comes from Hebrew שלא מועיל (“who is not helpful”), though such an etymology would be expected to yield *shloyml or *shlemoyl. Another is that it comes from the Biblical figure Shelumiel ben Tzurishadai, though it is unknown how he would have come to be associated with bungling.
