Yay Noor, really nice name. I like Rosa a lot too. Do you know anything about Ilon? - it's not in the database.

Don't know much about Ilon, but I found this at a Swedish namesite:"
Ilon means "the best" (don't know what language???)
Ilon means light in GreekWould initially be able to stammer out the name of the city of Troy: Ilion.Derived from the name Ilona which is a Hungarian or Finnish form of Helena."
No idea if it's accurate or not

I misread Ilon as Ilan until I spotted your query - thanks!Ilan is in the db all right, and so it should be. Plus, among the Comments I found this:Variant spellings: Alon, Eilan, Eilon, Elan, Elon, Ilon.
-- Nisha 1/30/2013 How reliable Nisha might be, of course, one does not know. But it seems convincing. The other apparent alternative - a masculine version of Ilona - isn't very likely.

I find it far more likely that Ilon is a masculine version of Ilona. Ilon isn't pronounced the same as Alon, Eilon etc. It's more like EE-lon
