Bright, shining, or from the island
Illa is a rare name with multiple potential roots. It is often considered a variant of the Germanic name Ella or a diminutive of names ending in -illa, such as Priscilla. In some contexts, it is linked to the Latin word for 'that one' or the Sanskrit 'Ila,' meaning earth or speech.
