The female name Ilia is of Hebrew origin, meaning "God is Lord." The male equivalent is Ilya, a more commonly used name in Russia. Kabalarian Philosophy says the name Ilia indicates the urge to be creative, original, and bestows great patience and independence. It goes on to say the name means one is stable, trustworthy, homeloving, and logical in practical matters. All of which describe Ilia's friendly and mothering nature. The name is also not without its weaknesses, being unwilling to accept life changes and fastidious in every little detail. These may to help explain the reason Ilia admonishes Link when it comes to his and Epona's well-being. The name Ilia is somtimes short for Iliana.
