Hilaria is a hearty, wholesome name of Latin origin. A variant of Hilarius, which springs from the Latin expression hilaris, Hilaria means “happy” or “cheerful” and is a choice with real charm for any little one with shining eyes and sharp wit. This girl’s name was also known as an ancient Greco-Roman festival commemorating the Cybele-Attis and Isis-Osiris cults. Hilaria may have been deemed a day of merriment and mirth in the ancient world, but nothing deters your little darling from delighting in their name today!
