534.0. "Ilona - meaning and origin of?" by WAV13::STEINHART (Toto, I think we're not in Kansas anymore) Tue May 29 1990 22:07

    Does anyone know the origin and meaning of the girl's name Ilona?  I am
    told it is common in Hungary.  Ilona was my husband's grandmother who
    came from Hungary.  I'd especially like to know if it means anything in
    that language.
    
    Thanks.

    Hi Laura,
    
    I know someone with that name.  She was born in Poland so as far as I
    know, it is a Polish name.  I am expecting a baby in September and when
    I told her that the name we have picked out for a girl is Helen, she
    told me that's what her name means in Polish!  I was very surprised, I
    had no idea.
    
    That's all I know.  Hope this helps.
