I took it from this site. Here's the entry:
SHILOH m
Usage: English
Pronounced: SHIE-lo
Means "he who is to be sent" in Hebrew. This phrase from the Old Testament (see Genesis 49:10) is often understood to refer to the Messiah.

Aaah ... See, I figured that since it doesn't say "Biblical" under usage (which is only used for names actually borne by *people* in the Bible), it was a modern adoption of the placename, and it certainly goes both ways gender-wise nowadays. I'll do some more research though :-)
