About the name Ilias
Ilias belongs to the Greek tradition. Its roots are documented, even though its precise meaning is not recorded in the standard references — an honest gap we prefer to a confident guess.
In the United States, Ilias first appears in Social Security records in 1975. It climbed to its best-ever rank of #2190 in 2024, and in 2024 66 babies received the name — 959 in total since 1880. Those are the official counts, not estimates.
