Iliko is Georgian in Origin.
Iliko is a Georgian masculine given name, most commonly a familiar or affectionate form of Ilia, formed with the Georgian diminutive suffix -iko. Through Ilia, it ultimately derives from the biblical Hebrew name Eliyahu (Elijah), “my God is Yahweh,” transmitted into Georgian via Greek and Church traditions. While Iliko began as a nickname, it functions in modern Georgia as an independent given name with a warm, colloquial flavor.
The name appears across 20th-century Georgian culture - well known from Nodar Dumbadze’s novel Me, Grandma, Iliko and Ilarion - and is borne by figures such as dancer and choreographer Iliko Sukhishvili. Usage remains centered in Georgia and the Georgian diaspora. Related forms include Ilia (Georgian), Ilya (East Slavic), Ilie/Ilija (Romanian/South Slavic), Elia/Elias, and Elijah.
