'''Ilkorin''' literally means in [[Quenya]] "not of Kôr". The '''Ilkorins''' are a [[Elf (Middle-earth)|group of Elves]] from [[J. R. R. Tolkien]]'s [[fictional universe]]. They first appear in ''[[The Book of Lost Tales]]''. It was then a name with a broad meaning for all the Elves who "never saw the light of Kôr" and also for their many tongues. Kôr was the Quenya name for a hill and the city built on it, near the shores of the Bay of Faery.  ''Ilkorins'' is an anglicized term. These Elfes are called ''Ilkorindi'' in grammaticaly correct Quenya.

Later, in the late 1920's, Ilkorin became the name given to only some of the Elves who did not reach Kôr, those who lived in [[Beleriand]] ruled by the King Thingol:
