From Wikipedia
In Pythagorean numerology, every letter has a value from 1 to 9. Adding the letters of Shiloh yields these three numbers — a playful read on the name's character.
Shiloh holds the lowest rank in this batch at 260, on 1,216 births in 2024, which is nonetheless its best year on both measures after 152% growth across the decade. Recorded from 1969 with 22,186 births total. Of Hebrew origin, and like Zion it is a biblical place rather than a biblical person, which puts it in a small category with distinct behaviour. One bearer is listed, the actor Shiloh Fernandez, born 1985. Absent from the file, and almost certainly more consequential, is Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, born 2006, whose birth generated the kind of coverage that reliably moves a name — the American curve begins climbing shortly afterwards.
