Ilika is in Origin.
Ilika is a cross-cultural name with two notable etymologies. In the Indian context, it is linked to Sanskrit Ilā - Vedic goddess of speech and an epithet of the Earth - plus the feminine suffix -ika, yielding senses like “of Ilā,” “earthy,” or “eloquent.” Some modern Hindi name lists gloss it simply as “earth.” In the Caucasus and Slavic sphere, Ilika functions as a pet form of Ilia/Ilija (from Hebrew ‘Eliyahu, “Yahweh is my God”), giving it a biblical layer of meaning.
Usage is modern and relatively rare in India, where it is chiefly feminine; in Georgia and the Balkans it appears informally, usually masculine, alongside variants Iliko, Ilia/Ilija, and Ilka. Spelling and phonetic variants include Ilikā (transliterated with a long ā), Ilica in South Slavic orthography, and the related base name Ila. Short forms include Ili and Lika. Ilika blends an earthy Indic resonance with a friendly Eastern European diminutive tone.
