My name is Ilyana and I was named after a character in a book, 'Jared' had a character named Ilya and a baby was named after him as Ilyana, Ilya is Russian but Ilyana is not, from what I've found it's of west Asian origin, more specifically Aramaic origin meaning: gods' little dove. Il means gods' and yana means bird, I am just realizing you posted this in 2004 so I doubt you would find this useful now but I sent it anyhow.
