Illia is Hebrew in Origin.
Illia is the Ukrainian form of a widespread Slavic given name ultimately derived from Hebrew Eliyahu via Greek Elias, meaning “Yahweh is my God.” The name entered the East Slavic repertoire with the Christianization of Kyivan Rus’ and remained anchored in Eastern Orthodox tradition through veneration of the Prophet Elijah (St. Illya), whose feast day and folk customs kept the name in steady circulation. Illia has been borne across centuries by clergy, peasants, and intellectuals in Ukraine and neighboring regions, and it continues to see regular use in the Ukrainian diaspora.
Variants and cognates include Ilya (Russian), Ilia (Ukrainian/Georgian), Ilija (Serbian, Croatian, Macedonian), Iliya (Bulgarian), as well as the pan-European forms Elias, Elijah, Élie (French), Elías (Spanish), and Elia (Italian). Alternate Ukrainian transliterations such as Illya also appear. Typical pronunciations cluster around “EEL-yah” or “ILL-yah,” depending on language.
