the name means tranquil Strong's Lexicon

Shiloh, a term used in Jacob's prophetic blessing on Judah, possibly referring to a future ruler or a place of rest.

From Easton's Bible Dictionary

Generally understood as denoting the Messiah, "the peaceful one," as the word signifies (Gen. 49:10). The Vulgate Version translates the word, "he who is to be sent," in allusion to the Messiah; the Revised Version, margin, "till he come to Shiloh;" and the LXX., "until that which is his shall come to Shiloh." It is most simple and natural to render the expression, as in the Authorized Version, "till Shiloh come," interpreting it as a proper name (comp. Isa. 9:6).
