What is the meaning of the name Ildar ?

The baby name Ildar is a boy name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced il-DAR.

Ildar is Persian in Origin.

Ildar is a Tatar and Bashkir masculine name built from Turkic il, also el, a word for people, country, realm, or state, and Persian -dār, a compound-forming suffix meaning holding or possessing. The earliest recoverable vernacular form is İldar, written Илдар in Tatar and Bashkir Cyrillic, with Russian often spelling it Ильдар. Its literal sense is best read as holder of the land or possessor of the country.

Usage is concentrated among Muslim Turkic communities of the Volga-Ural region, especially Tatars and Bashkirs, and spread through Russian-language records in the Soviet period. The related Azerbaijani form Eldar reflects the same il/el element with a front-vowel spelling. Modern bearers include Russian bass Ildar Abdrazakov, which has made the name familiar beyond its regional base, though it remains uncommon in Western naming.
