"Ildar" is a Tatar name, the Tatars say. “This is a Kyrgyz name,” the Yenisei Kyrgyz disagree. “No,” representatives of other nations object to them, showing old pictures with the name Ildar and portraits of I. Islamgulov, I. Zhindarev, I. Ibragimov and other celebrities, “is our name.”
In fact, both are right. The word Ildar, composed of two parts ("il" - state, "gift" - possession) has ancient Turkic roots, therefore it is common among many peoples and has a similar meaning to all. The name translates as "leader", "ruler", "owner of the country." This is the version that the vast majority of anthroponyms adhere to. However, there are others who see other roots in the ancient word, a different
meaning. The name Ildar, they believe, originates from the Greek word "ascendant." It is common in the Russian language, but more often it is pronounced as “Eldar”, although scientists are sure that Eldar and Ildar are completely different names.
Character and fate
Each Ildar is a real gift from heaven. In childhood, these nimble, cheerful and sociable boys are the favorites of both adults and children. Sometimes a naughty tire of others. He is a choleric, often unbalanced and spontaneous, but very responsive and kind. The boy is studying average: he has so many interests that he simply does not have enough time to study. And he attaches importance only to what he likes. The name Ildar implies that its carriers have the ability to predict and remarkable intuition. That is what helps them learn, build a career.

He is not able to lead or obey. He always works for himself, but he can always come to the aid of those who need it: friendship nevertheless is of great importance to him. The name Ildar has another shade. A man born to rule the state easily wins the hearts of ladies. From childhood, the boy is fond of the female sex, but never lets the girls to his heart. However, despite the huge number of close friends, the guy remains a "man in himself." He does not like to pour out his soul. Bearers of this name marry quite late: sometimes they just have no time, and sometimes the passion for strong drinks, which for several years carries away some Ildars, interferes. However, this streak passes quickly if a man sees a goal to which he must strive. Though late, the Ildarov’s marriage is strong: they can combine love for the family hearth and their own independence, giving these things equal importance.
