'''Ilkorin''' literally means in [[Quenya]], "not of Kôr". The '''Ilkorins''' awere 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 awere called ''Ilkorindi'' in grammaticaly correct Quenya.

Later, in the late 1920's, Ilkorin becamTolkien decides that Ilkorin should be the name given to only some of the Elves who did not reach Kôr, those who lived in [[Beleriand]] and were ruled by the King Thingol:

"In the course of ages the tongues and dialects of Beleriand became altogether estranged from those of other Eldar in [[Valinor]], through the learned in such lore may perceive that they were anciently sprung from Telerian. These were the '''Ilkorin''' speeches of Beleriand."<ref>J.R.R. Tolkien, "The Lhammas", ''The Lost Road'', p. 175.</ref>
