My name is Ilian, I am a female and I was named after my Aunt on my dads side, I was told many years ago that the name Ilian was a greek form of the name Helen?, The fact that the name is from the name Elijah is very cool I think Since the name Elijah means Jehova is God or the Lord is God. I hope there are more Ilian's out there though I have nEver met anyone besides my aunt that has that name.
