Shailoh
A girl's name of Hebrew origin with 12 recorded U.S. births.
Meaning & Origin
Shailoh reads as a modern invention — a name that emerged in the 2020s and was likely coined by parents looking for something fresh rather than inherited.
The sharp, distinct quality of its ending — ending on a consonant gives it a firm, clear close — keeps the name compact and easy to pair with longer middle names or surnames.
In the most recent SSA release, Shailoh ranks #13212 among U.S. girl names — distinctive enough to stand out.
Shailoh is a girl's baby name of Hebrew origin, a variant spelling of Shiloh, from the Hebrew 'Shiloh' meaning 'peaceful' or 'tranquil.' In the Hebrew Bible, Shiloh was a sacred city and place of rest. It gained wider recognition when Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie chose it for their daughter in 2006.
Shailoh carries the peaceful meaning of Shiloh with a softer, more feminine visual presentation.
EtymologyShow more
Shailoh appeared in SSA records in 2020, placing it in the modern era of American naming — a period when parents increasingly draw from global cultures, invent new names, and blend sounds to create something entirely original. Its Hebrew roots may have been the starting point, adapted or respelled to fit contemporary American tastes.
With only 12 recorded births, Shailoh has not been widely studied in naming literature — its story belongs primarily to the families who chose it.
