Origin and meaning of Ilario

Ilario comes from the Latin Hilarius, from hilaris, 'cheerful, joyful, serene,' itself borrowed from the Greek hilarós. It is the name of gladness and good humour, dear to Christian tradition through Saint Hilary of Poitiers, a Doctor of the Church. Found mainly in Italy and, as Hilario, in Spain, it remains an uncommon name, valued for its clear sound and its positive meaning.
