Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt Has Arrived

People magazine reports that Angelina Jolie has given birth to a baby girl.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have welcomed a baby girl, Shiloh Nouvel Jolie-Pitt, a rep for the couple confirms in a statement to PEOPLE. The child was born on May 27, at night, in the African country of Namibia. The new parents, along with kids Maddox, 4, and Zahara, 1, have been staying at a luxury resort in Namibia since April, where their personal security team and Namibian police have shielded them from paparazzi.

Last week, the Namibian government said foreign journalists wishing to cover the birth must have written permission from Pitt and Jolie to enter the country and obtain a work permit. The new girl is the couple's first biological child. Jolie adopted Maddox from Cambodia in 2002 and Zahara from Ethiopia last year. Pitt is in the process of legally adopting both children.

Shiloh? Isn't that the site of a famous Civil War battle? And "Nouveau" means "new" in French, of course. There's also a Neil Diamond song called "Shilo" -- that's a different spelling, though...According to Babynamer.com, the source of the name Shiloh is a Hebrew expression meaning "His gift." We were under the impression that Angelina follows the Buddhist way, but that she was going to give the baby a Namibian name, not a Hebrew one. It's all most confusing. In any event, now the race to get the baby pix is on! May the strongest paparrazzi win!
