Kilar is Polish in Origin.

Kilar is a rare, modern given name with multi-origin layers. In English use it most often functions as a streamlined variant of Kylar/Kyler, themselves influenced by Kyle. It also appears as a transferred surname, notably borne by the Polish composer Wojciech Kilar; in that line it reflects Central European surname traditions. The spelling can also echo Turkish Kılar (with dotless ı), a family name, and surface as a toponymic from South Asian places called Kilar/Killar.

Meaning shifts with the source. From the Kyle line it carries the Gaelic caol, “narrow strait; channel.” As a Slavic or Central European surname its root is uncertain and may be occupational or locative. In Turkish, Kılar relates to kılmak, “to do; to perform.” Variants and near-forms include Kylar, Kyler, Kiler, and Killar. Usage is very uncommon and largely late-20th-century onward, making Kilar a distinctive, surname-style choice.
