Laughter will surely follow baby wherever they go with this lovely name! Gender-neutral, Hilarion is of Latin origin and means “cheerful” or “happy,” helping to keep baby smiling through all walks of life. Hilarion is derived from the Ancient Greek ἱλαρός or hī́lāos and was borne by Saint Hilarion or Hilarion The Great, who some consider responsible for being one of the founders of Palestinian monasticism, along with St Anthony. Over the years, Hilarion took on some variations, such as Hilary, which has the same merry meaning and can help bring lifelong happiness to your little bundle of joy.
