Shiloh Meaning

From an Old Testament place name possibly meaning "tranquil" in Hebrew. It is also used prophetically in the Old Testament to refer to a person, often understood to be the Messiah (see Genesis 49:10). This may in fact be a mistranslation. This name was brought to public attention after Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie gave it to their daughter in 2006. Shiloh originates in Hebrew language and means "calm, peaceful". It is derived from a place name in the Old Testament and is also associated with the Messiah. Shiloh also refers to a location where the Battle of Shiloh took place during the American Civil War. As a feminine given name it was popularized by Shiloh Nouvel, Angelina Jolie"s and Brad Pitt"s adopted daughter.
