Siloe is of Hebrew origin, derived from the name Shiloh, which means "peaceful." It was originally a place name, referring to the ancient city of Shechem in Israel where the patriarch Jacob buried the idols and foreign gods belonging to his family. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages in Europe as it became associated with the religious order of the Siloe, founded by Johannes Trithemius in 1492. Despite its biblical roots, Siloe is not widely used today.
