Ilma
Meaning of Ilma
Ilma is a concise, two-syllable name of Finnish origin meaning “air” or “sky,” with a parallel in Arabic (“ilm,” meaning “knowledge”) that lends an intellectual nuance. Pronounced IL-mah (/ɪlˈmɑː/), it embodies the modern Anglo-American preference for clear, nature-inspired names. Though it has never soared into the top tier of the U.S. Social Security charts, Ilma has appeared intermittently among the top 1,000 since the late 19th century and, in recent years, has ranked in the mid-900s—evidence of its steady, if understated, appeal. Parents drawn to a name that feels both open and thoughtful will find in Ilma a distinctive choice that balances simplicity with subtle depth.
