Comments and insights on the name Illyria: | Edit

I named my 1st daughter this. Yes it came from Joss Whedon's show Angel. She was not born until a couple of years after the show canceled. Most people think it is an old family name. There are a few that ask about the show. (Very few) I admit my husband didn't like it at first and only called her Lilly. He has changed his mind greatly and really enjoys the uniqueness that is only an Illyria can be. As far a meaning I have yet to ever find one. Just the historical stuff on the name of people and region. May be I can make one up. I'll have to think on that. Hope this helps as I have never meet anyone else with this name and may never.
