The name Ilma is of Arabic origin and bears the meaning 'intelligent'. It's composed of two elements, 'il' which denotes 'the' and 'm' from the root word 'alima', signifying 'knowledgeable' or 'wise'. Thus, Ilma translates to 'the wise one'. This name holds a profound significance for those who appreciate wisdom and intelligence.
The name Ilma experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with peaks occurring around the late 1800s to early 1900s and again in recent decades.
