Ilanis Origin and Meaning

The name Ilanis is a girl's name.

Ilanis is a feminine name with multiple possible origins. It may be a variation of Ilana, a Hebrew name meaning 'tree' or 'oak tree,' symbolizing strength and longevity. Alternatively, it could be connected to the Native American name Ilani, meaning 'voice' in some indigenous languages. The addition of the 's' gives the name a distinctive Greek or Latin quality, though it doesn't have direct classical roots. Ilanis remains relatively uncommon in most regions, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking something with multicultural resonances yet distinctive character. The name carries a melodic quality with its balanced syllables and flowing sounds, projecting both gentleness and quiet strength.
