There is an interesting connection here with Ilhan Omar
Is the name Ilham, the same name in Indonesian? Turns out that it is a Muslim name for boys or girls that means inspiration and is almost the same in Turkish, Arabic, Persian and Indonesian.
This name is written with a Turkish dotted İ. It appears as İLHAN in uppercase and ilhan in lowercase.
From the Mongolian title il-Khan meaning "subordinate Khan", which was first adopted by Genghis Khan's grandson Hulagu, who ruled a kingdom called the Ilkhanate that stretched from modern Iran to eastern Turkey.
It comes from the Mongolian word il which means foreign country subordinate to the empire.
