All about the name SHILOAH

Meaning, origin, history.

Shiloah, a unique and distinctive name of Hebrew origin, is derived from the Hebrew word 'shilluach,' which means 'peaceful' or 'tranquil.' It is often associated with the biblical Shiloah, an early name for Jerusalem's Gihon Spring, which served as the city's primary water source. In the Bible, King Hezekiah commanded that a tunnel be dug from the spring to bring water into the city during times of siege (2 Chronicles 32:30). The name Shiloah thus carries with it a sense of resilience and resourcefulness in the face of adversity.
