Ilinca is Romanian in Origin.
Ilinca is a Romanian feminine given name rooted in the Balkan forms of the biblical name Elijah. It corresponds to South Slavic Ilinka, a feminine derivative of Ilija, ultimately from Hebrew Eliyahu, “Yahweh is my God.” In Romanian usage it functions as a feminine form or affectionate derivative of Ilie and is celebrated by some on 20 July, the Orthodox feast of Sfântul Ilie (St. Elijah).
Documented throughout Romanian-speaking regions, the name saw wider urban adoption in the late 20th and early 21st centuries, aided by renewed interest in traditional names and media figures such as singer Ilinca Băcilă. Variants and cognates include Ilinka (Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian), Ilijana and Ilina in South Slavic; Romanian short forms Linca and Linka also occur; the related masculine is Ilie.
