Meaning of the name Shiluva


I saw a cite with clearly AI or guess work answers.

Šiluva is a place in Lithuania. Now, English doesn't have Š on the keyboard, so girls named for it are spelled Shiluva in the US.

Now, why would a girl be named after a place? Well, what about Lourdes? Or Christian girls named Fatima ?

Exactly, Šiluva is also a place with a Marian apparition, but I think it's pronounced on the first syllable, Sean Hiller pronounces it on the second last (also second) syllable:
