About Shilo
In its original form, Shiloh is a soft unisex name, with connections to both the Bible and American history. While it is often associated with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's daughter, born in 2006, Shiloh ranks in the US Top 500 for girls and boys.
Shilo is a simpler, streamlined version, perhaps influenced by other popular -o boy names, like Arlo and Milo.
Pronounced SHY-lo.
As of October 2026, Shilo ranked #1343 in US births in 2025 SSA.
