Meaning and history
From an Old Testament place name, possibly meaning “tranquil” in Hebrew, Shiloh is also used prophetically in the Old Testament to refer to a person, often understood as the Messiah, as in Genesis 49:10, though this may be a mistranslation. The name gained wider public attention in 2006 when actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt gave it to their daughter.
