Flat area or plain; possibly a variant of Sheila or Selah
The etymology of Shalah is multifaceted. It is often considered a phonetic variant of the Hebrew word Selah, used in the Psalms to indicate a musical pause. Alternatively, it may be a modern creative spelling of the Irish name Sheila, meaning blind, or linked to Arabic roots referring to a level plain.
