Ilma

I met a little girl named this the other day. I thought it was really cute. The parents were from abroad but I couldn't really make out from where.

I do think Ilma kind of fits in with names such as Alma, Mila, Isla, Elva etc. So I thought it was really cute. The little girl was adorable too.

I found out that it means 'air', 'sky' in Finnish and apparently 'knowledge' in Arabic.

What do you think of Ilma? Have you ever hear it used?

I really like it! The meanings up the appeal for me.

I'm a Finn and to me, Ilma reminds too much of the word "ilma" (= air). That is, it doesn't feel like a name to me. I have a same problem with some other word names such as Aamu and Ilta.

Also, Ilma isn't that common here, at least nowadays. I think I've only seen it in some obituaries.
