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 Greek
Would 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.

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.
