Ilarions is Greek in Origin.
Ilarions is the Latvian form of the Greek-derived name Ilarion/Hilarion, ultimately from Greek Hilarion, a derivative of hilaros 'cheerful, merry,' cognate with Latin hilaris. The meaning is 'cheerful, joyful.' The -s ending reflects the standard Latvian masculine nominative.
Usage traces to the Byzantine and Eastern Christian world, where the name was popular among monks and churchmen. Notable bearers include Saint Hilarion the Great, a 4th-century Palestinian ascetic, and Metropolitan Hilarion of Kyiv (11th century), helping its spread through Slavic lands; from there it entered Baltic naming. In Latvia it remains uncommon and slightly ecclesiastical in tone. Cross-language variants include Hilarion (English/Church), Illarion/Ilarion (Russian, Ukrainian, Bulgarian, Greek), Ilarionas (Lithuanian), Ilario (Italian), Ilari (Finnish), Hilario (Spanish/Portuguese), and Hilarius (Latin). Related feminines are Ilaria, Ilarija, and Hilaria/Hilária.
