A Saint Ilar ([iːlɑr]; Latin: Hilarus or Elerius[1]) is listed among the 6th-century saints of Wales[2][3] and is the probable namesake of Llanilar in Ceredigion[4][5][7][9] and its former hundred of Ilar. His feast day is variously given as 13, 14, or 15 January,[10] but is no longer observed by either the Anglican[11] or Catholic church in Wales.[12]
