About Chilion
A rare Biblical name, perhaps due to its slightly gloomy meaning, Chilion was one of Naomi's two sons, referred to alongside his brother Mahlon (meaning "sickly"), the husband of Ruth. He was married to Oprah.
The name can also be spelled Kilion in English, while Quiliom is the Portuguese form and Quilión and Quelión are Spanish versions.
It could perhaps see more interest among those who enjoy the rising Killian, Cillian, and Kylian, but want something Biblical.
Pronounced KIL-ee-un.
