in reply to a message by Caprice
Illiana is used in Greece, although it's rare.
The name "Astrik" could possibly derive from the Ancient Greek word "ASTRIKOS" (fem:"ASTRIKE", neut:"ASTRIKON"),
"of or concerning the stars", from "ASTRON", "star".

"Until the day that an ancient inscription is found with the name "Alexandrovski" (or "Alexandrev" or "Alexandrov") written on it instead of "Alexander", true Macedonia and true Macedonians will remain Greek, as they always were."
