Meaning & Origin of Ilo

Meaning: Beauty, splendor.

Origin: Estonian.

A common claim: Ilo is sometimes listed as a Scandinavian or Finnish girl's name meaning 'joy'. Actually: Ilo is actually recorded as a male given name in Estonian, coming from 'ilu' (beauty, splendor) - not the similar-sounding Finnish word for joy - and it isn't a Scandinavian name.
