Shiloh

Shiloh is a Biblical place, mentioned in Genesis 49:10, meaning "peace". Christians claim it is a reference to Jesus, but Muslims claim it is a reference to Islam. The name was the 803rd most popular name for girls born in the United States in 2007, 650th in 2008, 604th by 2009, and 620th by 2010. The name was popularized when American actors Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt named their daughter Shiloh Nouvel (born 2006). The name had previously been used occasionally for both boys and girls, though it was never previously among the top 1,000 names for either gender in the United States.
In the United States, the name has associations with the Southern United States due to the Battle of Shiloh, a major battle of the United States Civil War, and to many towns named Shiloh in southern states, which were usually named after the town in the Bible.
People named Shiloh include:
Shiloh Fernandez (born 1985), American actor
Shiloh Keo (born 1987), American football player
Shlomit Malka (born 1993), Israeli fashion model sometimes called Shiloh Malka
Shiloh Strong (born 1978), American actor, screenwriter, photographer and film director
Shiloh Walker, American author of erotic romance novels and novellas

Village on the west bank of the Jordan River, perhaps from an alteration of Hebrew shalo "to be peaceful." The American Civil War battle (April 6-7, 1862) was so called for being fought around the Shiloh church in Tennessee, which was destroyed in the battle.
