May mean "from Ilium", wherever that is. I'm sure you could also say it means "there is" or "here it is" if you were feeling clever, because of the French. :)

Ilia in song, story & screen: | Edit

Ilia in Greek mythology is just another name for Rhea Silvia (i.e. the mother of Romulus and Remus, i.e. the little abandoned babies raised by wolves.) The father was Mars, and because of all the terrible prophecy surrounding her children, she was cast out of her own before she could give birth to them. She was quite a brave woman.
