What did the name of Shiloh that was the name of several churches in Tennessee mean in Hebrew?

The name "Shiloh" is used in many church names in Tennessee and elsewhere because it refers to the Messiah, specifically in his role as the Prince of Peace.The derivation and exact meaning of "Shiloh" are a lot more difficult to determine. Early Jewish scholars believed that the word came from "she-lo", meaning "that which is his", and in modern Hebrew, Shiloh is a man's name meaning "the one to whom it comes", which are generally similar in meaning. Later Jewish scholars, however, considered Shiloh to be derived from the verb "shala", meaning to be quiet or to rest, with a connotation that such rest and quiet is possible due to a general prosperity in the land. Most Christian interpreters of the Bible are generally in accordance with this interpretation, but take it one step further to mean the worldwide peace and tranquility that will be brought by the rule of the Messiah.At least one commentator has pointed out the similarity between the verb "shala", to rest, and the Hebrew noun "shalom", meaning peace.
