Ilirida

Ilirida is a modern Albanian name directly derived from 'Illyria', the ancient region in the western part of the Balkan Peninsula inhabited by the Illyrians. The name serves as a patriotic and cultural homage to the historical roots of the Albanian people, who are widely considered descendants of the ancient Illyrians. It evokes a sense of national pride and connection to a rich historical past.

The creation of such names became more common in the 20th century, particularly during periods of national awakening and identity formation in Albania and among Albanian communities. It is a unique name that clearly signifies a strong cultural and historical identity.
