Brangelina’s new arrival is a peaceful one

THE name Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have chosen for their daughter — Shiloh Nouvel — makes those of the actress’ two adopted children, Zahara and Maddox, seem run-of-the-mill.

According to the biblical encyclopaedia, christiananswers.net, Shiloh is generally understood to mean the Messiah — “the peaceful one”. It is also said to be a place in ancient Israel, north of the Dead Sea.

In addition, Shiloh was the name of a major battle in the American Civil War.
