Ilom is Estonian in Origin.
Ilom is a rare given name with several plausible roots across languages. In West Africa, it is often read as a variant of Ewe Elom/Elɔm (related to Elorm), meaning “he loves me,” commonly understood theophorically as “God loves me.” In a European context, it can be viewed as a modern elaboration of Finnish Ilo, “joy” (cf. Ilona), while its phonetic closeness to Hebrew Elon, “oak,” also influences how some parents interpret it. The name is typically unisex.
Documented usage is scattered, appearing sporadically in West African communities and, more recently, in global baby-name circles that favor concise, gentle consonant endings like -m. Variants and related forms include Ilon, Ilo, Ilona, Elom, Elorm, and Elon. Depending on the etymology embraced, Ilom carries meanings linked to love, divine favor, or joy; less commonly, families associate it with the sturdy symbolism of the oak.
