Yesterday I heard this name on a little girl and I thought it was very pretty. Does anyone know the meaning and origin of it?

Pride is one of the seven deadly sins; but it cannot be the pride of a mother in her children, for that is a compound of two cardinal virtues -- faith and hope.

Siloé is the French and Spanish form of the English Siloam, Biblical place name of a pool where Jesus cured a paralytic (Lk 13,4; Jn 9,7, Jn 9,11).
It is also the equivalent of other Biblical place names in English as Shiloah (Is 8,6), Siloah (Ne 3,15 in King James version) or Shelah (Ne 3,15 in Contemporary English version).
In last years, Siloé has become popular in France, just as other names with vocalic contact (Léa, Téo...) and/or unusual names.

I have no idea. But, if you "heard" it, are you confident that that's the spelling?
