Natale is an adjacent form of the Latin word natalis which means 'birth or relating to birth'. I think that natale is sometimes literally translated in context as 'birthday'.
Siloam is Hebrew, but the only meaning that I have ever heard is 'sent' (and I can't confirm that definition). The Pool of Siloam is in Jerusalem and is supplied with water via a conduit carved through rock to the Gihon Spring. The explanation of the name: pool of 'sent' water. In theory, it is the place that Jesus healed the eyes of a blind man by applying mud to the eyes and directing the man to wash it off at/in the pool.
Or maybe you are thinking of Salome?

The pool of Siloam
The Hebrew name is "Shiluach", which indeed means "sending" (assuming this is the pool you're reffering to).

In my Bible program, which, having a Strong's Concordance, is very helpful in Biblical names, it says:
Siloam sil-o-am’
of Hebrew origin
Siloam =" sent"
1) the Pool of Siloam, a fountain of water in Jerusalem, also called Shiloah in Isaiah 8:6
2) the Tower of Siloam, may have been a tower near or over the Pool of Siloam, which fell down killing 18 men; very likely they were purifying themselves.
Now as for the Hebrew origin:
Shiloach shee-lo’-akh or (in imitation of _Strong's #_) Shelach sheh’-lakh
Shiloah or Siloah =" sent"
from _Strong's #_
1) a fountain just southeast of Jerusalem
And "in imitation":
Shelach sheh’-lakh
Salah or Shelah =" sprout"
1) son of Arphaxad and father of Eber
From _Strong's #_:
shalach shaw-lakh’
a primitive root
1) to send, send away, let go, stretch out
1a1) to send
1a2) to stretch out, extend, direct
1a3) to send away
1a4) to let loose
1b) to be sent
1c1) to send off or away or out or forth, dismiss, give over, cast out
1c2) to let go, set free
1c3) to shoot forth (of branches)
1c4) to let down
1c5) to shoot
1d) to be sent off, be put away, be divorced, be impelled
1e) to send

On Siloam, Jerusalem etc
According the [untranslated in English] research of a Greek fellow Athenagoras Eleutheriou, many Hebrew words that including SL, SLM and names such as Saul, Salomon, Selem, Siloam and even the Greek Salamis refer to water, and particularly to water that springs forth from rocky terrain. He claims that Jerusalem has the same origin, and quotes Strabo as describing Jerusalem as a town with many springs that is surrounded by rocky and arid terrain.
I wonder if this theory "holds water"?
